Spring Lake Garden Club’s Yard of the Month for March is the McCowan home on Alamo Street, between Schulle Canyon and Holland Street, just blocks from the university campus. Dolly McCowan has developed a landscape in tune with nature, focused on native plants that live through winter freezes and summer heat. Some still provide food for birds or protection for a new generation of pollinators but are ready to be cut back for new growth.
