It’s a beautiful fall morning in the garden, and I’m feeling so grateful! There’s something special about this time of year—the crisp air, changing colors, and the peaceful beauty all around. Thankful for these little moments in the garden.

Last week, I had the pleasure of teaching two classes on planting for pollinators for the Hoe and Hope Garden Club and the Moraga Garden Club.

Fall is the perfect time to plant in California! The soil is still warm, giving plants a chance to get their roots established before winter—and hopefully, we’ll get some much-needed rain along the way.

Thank you to both garden clubs for having me. It was so much fun sharing ideas about creating gardens that support our pollinators and beneficial insects.

Special thanks to Orchard Nursery for the beautiful plants!

I planted this succulent garden for a client a few years ago, and today I added a few more! They are absolutely thriving in this location with morning sun and afternoon shade. I love how beautiful they look in front of the rock wall!

Regusci Winery in Napa is still one of my all-time favorites! I love it for its beautiful edible and floral gardens—they are truly incredible! They even have a vegetable stand where you can pick up fresh veggies and simply leave a donation!

July–August: This is a good time to prune deciduous fruit trees, including apricots, cherries, peaches, plums, and nectarines. Summer pruning helps keep trees at the height you want, controls their size, and makes harvesting easier. Remove overly vigorous upright shoots, water sprouts, and branches that are growing where you don’t want them.

I took a chance and planted my vegetables in March during that early heat wave, and it definitely paid off! I planted six varieties of tomatoes—Roma, Early Girl, Cherokee Purple, Black Prince, Red Beefsteak, and Big Boy—and they are all loaded with fruit. Along with the tomatoes, I’m growing zucchini, bell and hot peppers, cucumbers, beans, and eggplant. The first to ripen are the Romas, which I roasted and turned into a delicious homemade sauce. There’s nothing quite like enjoying the rewards of a successful garden season!

Today was our Garden Club’s last meeting of the season, and what a beautiful way to celebrate! Members of the Diablo Women’s Garden Club brought flowers from their own gardens to decorate the tables, creating stunning displays of color, texture, and creativity.

Each arrangement was unique and reflected the love and care that goes into our gardens. It was a wonderful reminder of the beauty we can grow and share with one another.

Everywhere I look, I see Mom.
A couple years ago, she painted this beautiful face for me, and now it holds new life with fresh succulents. A sweet reminder that love, memories, and beauty continue to grow. Missing her always.
