January’s Yard of the Month is a home landscape established in 1970 by San Marcos resident Aurora Lopez, who marked 103 years of age last year. Still living in her home on Sycamore Street, just a block from Cheatham Street and the river, this local centenarian now relies on her son Paul to tend her yard, with daughters Linda Acosta and Susie Mendoza caring for her, but enjoys her connection with an unusual and beautiful collection of plants. Spring Lake Garden Club is honored to feature the Lopez landscape as the first in the new year.
