Berney Park "Adopt-a-bed" Program
The RNNA Park & Green Spaces committee is still looking for a few good neighbors to help with bed maintenance in Berney Park. Families, individuals, businesses, and neighbor or friend groups are invited to "adopt" a bed in the park. Responsibilities include pulling weeds throughout the year as needed and communicating any other landscape needs to the Park & Green Spaces VP. This is a great way to help out with neighborhood beautification efforts without a big time commitment. Contact P&GS VP Joe French if you are interested in the program. |

RNNA has contracted with TruGreen to apply fertilizer, weed control, and broadcast fire ant control throughout the year in Berney Park. RNNA also schedules supplemental mowing of the park and medians as needed. Your donations and support of our programs allow us to continue keeping our green spaces in tip-top shape - thank you! |

Yard of the Month
The April Yard of the Month has been awarded to Kris Jones at 6425 Malvey, who definitely has a gifted “green thumb.” When Kris bought her house 2 years ago, it was almost totally hidden by the overgrown shrubbery & the out of control cactus garden. She tore out all the landscaping, painted the house & started the transformation. It is now truly an inspiration with a variety of plants, both annuals & perennials, and lots of color! She also has plans to build an arbor on the east side of the house. The really cool thing is that Kris is helping several of her neighbors beautify their yards. Please drive by this wonderful example of a beautiful Ridglea North yard. Interested in helping us choose the next winner? Contact Yard of the Month Chair Una Bailey to join the committee.

Neighbor Spotlight: Abby Avants
1) Tell us about yourself and your family. We moved to Ridglea North in our first home almost two years ago. I moved to Texas in 2012 from Chicago. I met my husband while I was living in Dallas. My husband is a Fort Worth native. Eventually, he convinced me to move to Fort Worth or as he would call it, the "right" side of the metroplex. We lived in an apartment off the trail for 2.5 years and then found our Ridglea North house in April of 2019. My husband is a firefighter/paramedic and I work for Everman ISD as an elementary curriculum specialist. Since moving in, our lives have been in fast forward! Our house has been amazing as newlyweds and now as new parents. We welcomed Theodore, our son, last March and celebrated his first birthday this March! Life has been strange in the past year but we love to cook, explore the neighborhood, travel, go out to eat and take our little man to the park. |
