Every spring, while driving Highway 280 on the way to the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, I enjoy the beautiful combination of Western redbuds blooming vivid fuchsia alongside electric blue ceanothus flower clusters. It’s a sight that always excites me. In early spring there are many other plants that bloom at the same time, creating colorful vignettes. Here are some of my favorites that I’ve used:

The sixth annual Sand Crab Classic perch tournament had a few changes this year and still proved to be a positive event for all.

Every year, I wait patiently for my Easter lilies to come up in the garden. The shoots are now about 6 inches tall, but they are a long way from blooming, and I’m looking forward to those huge, fragrant, trumpet-shaped white flowers.

A week from Sunday, Christians across the world will celebrate Easter, the Christian holiday that celebrates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the San Lorenzo Valley and Scotts Valley, services and Easter celebrations are plentiful at local churches.
