Nyahays Honored as Garden of the Month

COBLESKILL — The Schoharie Valley Garden Club has chosen the gardens of Rich and Ginny Nyahay as their Garden of the Month for August. Located at 263 School Hill Road in Cobleskill, Rich and Ginny have created many beautiful gardens throughout their property. They have worked tirelessly throughout the years to transform a very steep hillside into a garden oasis. Their front yard gardens have rock walls with marigolds and clematis, a handmade large wooden cart overflowing with annuals. Rich and Ginny have strategically placed boulders with a variety of beautiful shrubs and trees dotted throughout their yard. Intermingled with their annuals are trees such as Rowan, Weeping Alaskan Cedar and a Birch tree. Leading to the entranceway to their house is a large arbor consisting of Bittersweet, Wisteria and Honeysuckle.

Despite the challenge of a steep slope, the Nyahays have managed to create a layered garden by adding Sedum, Myrtle Lamb’s Ear and many Hostas. Leading down the slope are Hydrangeas, Zebra grass and a rose garden. Tucked into the slope of the hill surrounded by ground covers such as Bugleweed and shrubs are small ponds.

Their gardens are truly inspirational! For more information about the Schoharie Valley Garden Club please call. 518-827-7014
