A Well Loved Garden

Dodger stadium seats and countless tomato varieties co-exist in this wonderful Mar Vista garden

I love the Mar Vista Garden Tour. First of all it’s huge, you simply can’t see it all, and second of all so many of the gardens are done by the homeowners which I appreciate. Every year I try to bike around to at least a dozen gardens. I’m especially fond of the gardens that have been tended to by the same people for decades. The very first garden I saw this year was such a garden, really more of a personal paradise. Sylvia King has lived in her house and tended the garden for about 40 years. Sylvia still works full time which is really amazing considering her garden. She’s a huge Dodger fan and you’ll see authentic Dodger stadium seats featured in her seating area. I especially loved her vegetable garden which was neatly fenced in and surrounded by a gorgeous grape vine. You can tell that she’s a dedicated grower because she had a neat laminated chart of her tomato varieties. I aspire to this level of organization and horticultural success. Maybe when I retire!

Spring in the Big Sur

lovely ribes dance everywhere in Big Sur

Once Spring Break is on the horizon I’m usually so ready for a break from the daily grind of cajoling my kids out of bed in the morning and then back in bed at night. Keeping up with “the grind” begins to wear on all of us by March. Spring Break comes when the kids have most of the school year under their belt so it’s a very welcome respite all around. This year I felt like my family was suffering from “Nature Deficit Disorder” so I campaigned for a camping trip in Big Sur. Of course my boys have done tons of camping with scouts so they weren’t too thrilled with the idea BUT the opportunity to meet up with old friends (who have an adorable teenage daughter) was enough to convince them. We headed north and camped for three nights in Pheiffer Big Sur. Here we successfully avoided our electronics, unless you count the few times my son just had to stand in the cellular “hot spot” over by the camp bath rooms. We hiked, played games and enjoyed the beauty of California’s rugged central coast. It was the perfect time to visit especially for a California Native plant fan. The Ceanothus (California Lilac) was blooming in every shade of blue and white and the Baccaris (Coyote Brush) was big and gleaming with tons of shining new little leaves. The Arctostaphylos (Manzanita) of many forms was fresh and ready to flower. Of course the Poison Oak was plentiful too but that’s a small price to pay for so much verdant wonder and such great family memories.
