Had a great trip, saw lots of wonderful gardens and thought of all of you as I drove down the coast. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to arrange the visits with all the DGers who were so kind to d-mail me! The time went so fast!

Visited DD in SF and friends in Berkley and the Horticultural Center, Golden Gate Park, some private gardens in SF, then drove up north on Highway 1 to Point Reyes and the seashore and then down the pennisula to Menlo Park and Woodside to visit friends. Saw the beautiful gardens at Filoli at their peak, I think, and spent a lovely afternoon at the Runnymede Sculpture Farm. Both were lovely estates (and I love the stories of the old California families who built the railroads, mined for gold (successfully) and pioneered in the area...
