Mistletoe Heights, one of Fort Worth’s oldest neighborhoods, is perched on bluffs overlooking the Clear Fork of the Trinity River. Developed in the second decade of the 20th century, Mistletoe Heights was designated as a historic district by the city of Fort Worth in 2002. Made up of more than 500 households on 640 acres, the neighborhood is within a lion’s roar of the Fort Worth Zoo and a few minutes’ drive of downtown’s skyscrapers, Texas Christian University, world-class museums, the Botanic Garden, state-of-the art hospitals, upscale shopping, good schools and fine restaurants. Welcome to Mistletoe Heights, a neighborhood of cozy bungalows, front porches, leafy streets and friendly people, all in the heart of the city “where the West begins.”

Yard of the month: 2208 Weatherbee
2012-April
April’s Yard of the Month recipients are Scott and Susan Harwell of 2208 Weatherbee Street. The Harwells have lived in Mistletoe Heights for almost 20 years and have been street reps for almost as many. Susan stated that their their most recent yard efforts have been in their backyard, such as a beautiful arbor and a pond where they spend most their time. In the front yard, they will be planting summer annuals and deep red and white caladiums in their pots on the front porch.
The most recognizable aspect of their yard is on the front street corner- a tall stand of yaupon holly, trimmed into a mushroom shape, surrounded by five smaller rounded yaupons. This includes a bed of irises, pink and white peonies and chrysanthemums. Purple cone flowers, salvia and ivy are in the bed on the opposite side of the front yard. more ...
