Goss Residence is Albany Yard of the Month for July
Gosses have been at the location for 18 years
From Staff Reports
ALBANY — The 600 Greenwood Drive residence of Dee and Steve Goss has been selected as July’s Yard of the Month by the Daffodil Garden Club.
“Dee and Steve Goss have lived here about 18 years, and Dee (who is the yard person) says there was no yard when they moved in,” said Marideane Maxwell, chair of the club’s selection committee for the recognition program. “She has really transformed the place into a sight to behold while raising children and working.”
The home is on a corner lot, and “there is not an inch that is not perfection,” Maxwell said.
“You must ride by (really slow) and be inspired to create some beauty at your home,” she said. “Dee has racks of plants next to her greenhouse that she roots and shares.
“What better way to make a friend than passing along a plant?”
The Yard of the Month is a program the Daffodil Garden Club conducts to recognize a home for outstanding yardscaping. It also is designed to inspire and encourage others to pay attention to the place they own or rent and to do something to show pride in their home.
“Sometimes just one small improvement will make a world of difference,” Maxwell said.
The club meets on the third Tuesday of the month September through May. While the club doesn’t meet during the summer, it recognizes residences each month and accepts nominations from the public. To nominate a home with outstanding yardscaping, call (229) 436-6888 and leave a message with the suggested location.
