Gardener Declares No Favorite as Yard Becomes Living Flower Bed
Eileen Crutchley and daughter Beverly Nealon transform a front yard in Frederick into a whimsical display. They fill a metal frame bed, a claw foot tub, a hot water heater, and even boots with marigolds and other blooms. Children play nearby as the bed attracts curious onlookers. Mrs Crutchley, a longtime florist, tends the patch daily, insisting she loves all flowers and has no single favorite. The yard’s quirky containers include a feed mill barge planter and a concrete bird bath from near City Hall.
