The year is coming to an end, and it’s a good time to
reflect on all the activities and lessons learned in 2016. Here at Eden By The
Bay we had a great time delving into plant procreation, learning about the seed-to-seed
life cycle processes, and cloning plants through cuttings, division, and runners.
We learned more about gardening innovations that followed the Landscape
Movement, visited gardens and nature in the San Francisco Bay Area, and
enjoyed the rain that brought relief from our drought!

In our spare time, we read books, went to the movies, had
fun with a digital microscope, and enjoyed the blossoms and fall colors of our
subtle Bay Area seasons. We took our annual trip to the desert in Southern
California to see tenacious blossoms despite the ongoing drought, travelled
vicariously to Mediterranean climates of the world with Monty Don, and learned
about native plants and the importance of legacy trees. My husband and I made
several trips to the Pacific Northwest to visit our son and daughter-in-law,
and to experience its gardens and natural places. Looking back, it was a great year in the
garden!
