Our garden lies in what Sunset calls “one of Northern California’s finest horticultural climates.” We are located in an area of wet mild winters and dry mild summers — a Mediterranean climate zone. It’s region with unique challenges and opportunities. I love gardening here.

from the dark bottom
turn it inside out
let it spread through
Sift down even
Watch it sprout.
A mind like compost.
