Gerard Moody Lawn and Garden

About Gerard Moody Lawn and Garden

The Oconaluftee runs cold all summer, and the gardens along this valley take their cue from it, slow to start and then a green so deep it looks wet. Gerard Moody Lawn and Garden mows and edges the lawns here, works the beds, mulches, trims shrubs and clears out whatever each season leaves behind. Qualla mornings can be cool enough for a jacket in June, and the plants seem to appreciate that more than the people do. A bed cut cleanly against a lawn is where the garden begins and the yard ends, and that line is worth keeping sharp. It is patient work in a valley that gives a lot back for it.
