August Yard of the Month Shines on Golden Grain in Harvest Bend
In Harvest Bend, a quiet stretch of Golden Grain Drive now feels more like a walk through a botanical garden, thanks to the dedication and artistry of Virginia and Glenn Manser. This August, the Mansers were named Harvest Bend’s Yard of the Month for their beautifully landscaped front yard—a vibrant blend of color, structure, and natural serenity.
At first glance, it’s the towering oak tree that draws you in. But beneath its sweeping branches, a thoughtfully layered garden unfolds—lush greens, tropical foliage, blooming textures, and charming garden accents tucked throughout. A carefully tiered stone border defines the landscape, giving a clean, elegant frame to what feels like a curated outdoor gallery.
