Shimek’s Garden along with its owners Harvey & Nell Shimek are located in Alvin, TX on 4.3 acres of land. Their love for growing things is evident as you view their garden.

The acre around the home is landscaped and daylily borders are used when they get enough plants to make a border. The abundance of color during May is quite spectacular, the borders giving a mass of color.

The side garden is filled with eight beds, each being 8’ X 120’ long. Older daylilies along with their seedlings are grown in this area. The large backfield has more seedling beds. They have introduced Shimek September Morning and Czech It Out.

The collection of daylilies are varied, with spiders, doubles, large flowers, & miniature daylilies abound. They grow about 800 different cultivars along with thousands of their seedlings. They collect unusual plants and grow a collection of jatrophas, bauhinias, gingers, plumerias and many other unusual plants. They grow roses and hibiscus as well.

This garden is an AHS DISPLAY GARDEN for AHS. They will look forward to your visit in 2008. Garden visitors are one of the highlights in their lives.
