Beauty along the bluff: Volunteers make Bluffside Garden a picturesque McGregor spot

The unique spot is located along A Street, past the Paper Moon book store and Old Jail and Firehouse and Cave Courtyard guest suites, and features colorful perennial and annual flowers, trees and bushes.

The zinnias are especially beautiful this time of year.

“We started out just planting flowers into the soil and then put mulch down. We planted a lot of hostas, especially along the front, but then the critters started eating them," Lyle explained. They later added large rocks to the area, creating terraces on the sloped terrain. Eventually, barrels were added too. The flowers were then planted directly into them in order to cut down on weeds.

The daisies, which came from her mother, are Bonnie’s favorite flowers at the Bluffside Garden.

The Bluffside Garden is a labor of love for the Troesters—literally. Lyle estimates he and Bonnie spend several hours each week tending the space. Planting, mulching and spring and fall clean up require even more time.
