Look for an endless parade of Southern California gardens & mountain landscapes in the weeks ahead on Bay Area Tendrils

I'll be reporting on my sojourn to the Los Angeles area,
where the Malibu Garden Club invited me to speak on...
21st Century Gardens: Movements, Projects, Trends

The Leaf & Petal Co. is located
across the street from the brilliantly renovated dreamscape for shoppers - Santa Monica Place,
opposite downtown's pedestrian-friendly Third Street Promenade.

  1. Cannot wait to read more about it! With any luck I can do some garden viewing down there soon if I am able to enter a medical study at UCSD. What a great vacation, right?

  3. I would so love to visit the shops in your area. I really do not like shopping per say, but do have a weakness for garden center shopping.Not to mention the stunning gardens I would be sure to find.

  7. The Red Kangaroo Plant is the most amazing flower I have every seen. I am so fascinating I will do ACTUAL research on it.

    Also where is the other half of the elephant.

    Good luck on your talk. I'll be awaiting your recap.
