Rolla Floriculture Club
Rolla Floriculture Club has selected the home of William and Deborah Day, 1001 Missouri Ave., as their July Yard of the Month.
This yard has quite a bit of history. William was born in this house. The lilac bush was planted by William’s great-grandfather and father in the late 1930’s. Another heirloom plant is the grapevine in the back yard.
It came from the family farm, and was transplanted to the house 40 years ago. Every year they have lots of grapes to enjoy. This vine is believed to be a wild grape that produces a rose color jelly. They also have a teacup rose from William’s mother.
