Rob and Jan Young were named the Ohio Gardeners of the Year in 2014 by the Ohio Association of Garden Clubs. The couple have transformed the backyard of their Frazer Street home into a Mediterranean-style garden that features colorful flowers, vegetables, vines and hanging plants, and was one of the stops on the Club's Garden Tour this year.
Gardening is a shared interest of the couple, and they have been members of the Findlay Garden Club for 15 years. They were in charge of the Club's display at the Hancock County Fair, and also received a service award for Region 2. |
