Outstanding Beautification Award

You'll find it at 602 S. Johnson St.
Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, September 30, 2018

Story by Monty Siekerman
There are two things about the beautiful home at 602 S. Johnson that you notice when you drive by. First, whoever lives there has good taste. The plantings seem to be the right sizes, in the right places, not overdone or understated. Secondly, how does all of this happen when you seldom see anyone gardening there?

Meet Karlen Waugh who lives in the big, yellow house with his two children, Mason, a freshman at ONU, and Alexis, a sophomore at Ada High School.  The home recently received an Outstanding Beautification Award from Keep Hardin County Beautiful.
