Yard of the month
The home of Becky Bourtzos at 611 North Avenue was awarded Yard of the Month for May by Rockdale Earth Day. David Melton, chairman of Rockdale Earth Day said, “Becky’s yard has multiple flower beds with annuals, perennials, rocks, yard art, hanging baskets and pots and a bird bath. Truly a beautiful array of colors.” Except for a few trees, Bourtzos has planted all of the flowers and shrubs over the past seven years. Bourtzos is moving to El Paso, so the home is also listed for sale by Kate Garza. The cozy one bedroom, one bath home has been totally redone and is perfect for a single person or couple.
