PORT ANGELES — The Port Angeles Garden Club’s 2016 Winter Garden Green Thumb Award has been given to Patti and Cap Pattison.
The two share their home at 111 W. 10th St. with their dog, Dakota.
“The colorful plantings and their placement makes one think of a patchwork quilt, and indeed the gardener of the house is also a quilter,” the garden club said in a news release.
Garden club members said the home’s garden “has mostly been the loving work of Patti” throughout the past three years.
Many items in her yard were planted for sentimental reasons, they said.
The couple brought in 18 yards of soil and 4 tons of rock for landscaping. The house itself also had a face-lift.
Among the plants are blooming heather, candy tuft and quince tucked in among rhodies, azaleas, yew, small evergreens and bright ground covers.
The grounds are dotted with yard art, and their new pergola in the back has a couple of mountain goats perched on top.
