Christina, the gardener, was weeding a large beautiful patch when we first met her. It's nice to encounter again so soon.

This is probably the end of the high season for Claremont's Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden, and it's on my list of places to visit, but unfortunately it's 100+ miles north. Visiting the local canyons is a terrific experience. Seeing plants in a garden setting is totally different. How I wish we had nearby a terrific established native garden like the ones you mention.

The best of the best in the world of gardening. I hope lots of people are inspired by these plantings. I would love to something similar here in TN. Love your photos of the foaming flowers too. :-) Frances Hi Ryan, what a treasure to have fifty year old gardens that are well designed and planted with natives.

I like the white edges with the bright yellow. Weedy looking or not it would be welcome in my garden (if I lived on the left coast) The meadow foam flowers are quite striking.

Totally amazing. And I really wish I'd live closer to Tilden Park. Once I'm retired, I plan on going once a month and see that garden through the seasons. As it is, I make it there maybe once a year, but it's always a great visit, and I learn new things each time. I just loved the Fleming garden when I had a chance to see it last year. Totally amazing.
