905 First Avenue, North is Yard of the Month Worthy

Dorothy and Kenneth Smith

It is one of the prettiest and most well-kept yards in Bessemer.

As you drive along First Avenue, North and approach Ninth Street, 905 First Avenue, North catches your eye.

The beautiful yard and flower beds qualify the property for an award.

Homeowners Kenneth and Dorothy Smith are committed to the ongoing maintenance and beautification of their yard, grounds and home where they have lived for 38 years.

Large elephant ears outline the front beds, and verdant, lush Bermuda grass welcome the visitors. Smith regularly mows, fertilizes and waters the lawn, which guarantees ideal color and growth.

For years this pleasant couple has spent every free moment working in the yard. It shows.

“I am the weed picker and grass cutter. My wife has the green thumb and the gift for growing beautiful flowers,” said Smith.

Dorothy loves sharing her God-given talent with neighbors and friends by giving away plants and flowers.

The flower beds are filled with blooming annuals, perennials and shrubs, creating more visual appeal.

The backyard is equally as beautiful and clean.

905 First Avenue, North is a beautiful yard and a labor of love for the Smiths.
