Yard of the Month

Residents of Brookfield for 25 years, Susan and Warren McPhillips are the September YOM award winners!

Both Auburn grads with a daughter who graduated from UGA (what happened there,,,?), Warren has a double major in fishing and landscaping, while Susan is a retired teacher and a big contributor to what is a truly gorgeous yard at their Millsbee Lane home. 

Situated on a hillside with a great view of the neighborhood, the front yard is framed by a stacked stone wall at the base lined by variegated Liriope. Golden Creeping Jenny accentuates the red of the large Crepe Myrtle and Autumn Joy Sedum. Limelight Hydrangeas and purple coneflower dot the hillside leading to the home. Zeon Zoysia grass and more Creeping Jenny curl around a butterfly lover’s planting of flowers along the walkway. 

The McPhillips use a local company, Arbor Sage to do the heavy lifting and Warren and Susan supply the imagination. The McPhillips are rightfully proud of their home and the neighborhood. Susan is amazed but not surprised to see many of her former students moving into Brookfield to raise their own families. 

Congratulations to the McPhillips for being the winners of the BCC HOA Yard of the Month for September.
