Poinsett-Bland Garden Club announces November Yards of Month

Poinsett-Bland Garden Club, a member of the Council of Garden Clubs of Sumter Inc., is pleased to announce the selections for November's Yards of the Month:

Business Yard of the Month - The Farm Store, 584 Bultman Drive, Sumter

Homeowner Yard of the Month - 121 W. Calhoun St., Sumter

As the weather changes and the chance of frost becomes a reality, expect to see changing blooms, blossoms and décor.

At The Farm Store, 584 Bultman Drive, is a brilliantly colored fall display encompassing the vibrancy of autumn: pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, chrysanthemums, fall grasses and whimsical scarecrows. It showcases nature's bounty.

Inside the store, there's more! As a Certified South Carolina Roadside Market, expect to see shelves filled with locally grown produce, many organic grocery items, locally made breads, fresh meat and dairy. Their jams and jellies are quite tasty with fresh bread.

Poinsett-Bland Garden Club is pleased to recognize local businesses who endeavor to make our community look good while protecting and preserving our natural environment. The Farm Store has been doing this since 2009. For more information about this business, call (803) 494-3276. Call (803) 464-8292 about garden clubs in Sumter.

The front yard at 121 W. Calhoun St. in Sumter is a lovely sight where bold hues of color saturate the view. Seasonal chrysanthemums of every shade and tint, mixed with summer-blooming ornamentals, provide a stunning array of color. Whether walking by the home or driving by, the neatly organized and well-maintained yard cannot be missed. It's a beautiful contribution to the neighborhood and the Sumter community.
