It is officially Spring and gardens are popping up everywhere in Sonoma County. Trees are blooming, vines are budding and daffodils are shiny bright. It’s time for the summer gardeners to start weeding, tilling and planning their season’s fruits and vegetables. I say summer gardeners because the serious gardeners had their plans set in motion long ago and have been working their gardens all winter. The rest of us seem to start from scratch each year, figuring out how many tomatoes to plant and what other fruits and vegetables might be good to go along with them, or more accurately, what the kids might be enticed to eat. No matter which camp you are in this year it is a virtual bonanza for gardening. The White House is doing it, San Francisco City Hall is doing it, the neighborhood school is doing it, growing your own food is not only economical and environmentally friendly, it is now cool.
Luckily, Sonoma County makes it easy. As the home of the famed horticulturist, Luther Burbank, Sonoma County is renowned as a gardening hotspot. Check out the Luther Burbank Home & Gardens website for more details on Luther Burbank’s contributions to Sonoma County. Although gardening maybe cool and trendy now, Sonoma County residents have long been hooked on its alluring powers. Whether you are an expert or novice, Sonoma County provides the seasons and seasoned expertise to make it easy.
