Flowers and Ferns Flourish At Cedar Heights Garden
Mrs A H McCutcheon of 687 Grand Boulevard, Waterloo, a Waterloo Garden Club member, showcases a fern and wildflower bed once trodden by oxen and horses. Since buying the property in 1913 the 1.25 acre lot has been landscaped with careful soil improvement, fine irises, and shaded plantings. The gardener notes flowers gain from partial shade and that education and study of them refine character.
