The Bluffton in Bloom committee presented the Garden of the Month Award for June to Nanci Mistovich. Nanci’s yard on Polo Drive includes dramatic rock displays, whimsical arrangements of found objects, and impressive sweeps of beautifully maintained plants and herbs.  

Garden of the Month winners receive a signed certificate of recognition from the mayor, as well as a $25 gift certificate and hanging basket of their choice from Stratton Greenhouses.

Bluffton in Bloom initiated the Garden of the Month Award in May by honoring Susie and Steve Stratton.  Since 2007, Susie and Steve have created a “garden” on Main Street for all of Bluffton to enjoy.  Their colorful flower arrangements have become one of the sights that define summers in Bluffton. This year new floral displays were added to the front of Bluffton town hall.  

Bluffton in Bloom committee members are Tom Schmidt, chair, Nancy Benroth, Denise Fett, Becky Ramey and Mark Simmons. Jesse Blackburn, village administrator, is the village liaison to the board.  Questions can be emailed to [email protected].
