What’s in Bloom

The fruit trees are in bloom and the dogwood won’t be far behind. The pansies in the kitchen garden are enjoying the sunshine and the pink-flowering fringe-flower tree (loropetalum) in the Courtyard is gorgeous. We could surely do with some more winter rain, but since we’re having lovely spring weather instead, come enjoy it with us! View more photos…

Did You Know?

In California, Arbor Day is celebrated on March 7th, in honor of Luther Burbank’s birthday. (In many other parts of the country it’s celebrated late in April, as being a more appropriate time, weatherwise, for planting trees.)

In fact, California celebrates Arbor Week, March 7-14. You can find more information about local activities at Arbor Week.
