Apr 4, 2021Marin hike: Welcoming the flowers that bloom in the spring - Marin Independent Journal
Look for bush poppies in bloom on the Southern Marin Line Fire Road at the end of Crown Road in Kentfield, on the Matt Davis Trail on Mount Tamalpais not far from the junction with Hogback, and on Fairfax’s Rocky Ridge.
Miner’s lettuce is not yet flowering but the leaves are up. Native Americans looked forward to these early edible greens long before the 49ers realized they had enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy. The tiny white flower grows above a pair of fused leaves that appear to be one circular leaf. Leaves, stem and flowers are all edible.
In addition to eating this plant raw and cooked, various tribes discovered medicinal uses. The Shoshoni made a poultice of leaves for arthritis, while the Thompson tribe used it for sore eyes and the Mahuna people found the plant could stimulate appetite. It was brought back to Europe as a food crop in 1794 and having escaped from cultivation it now also grows in the wild. Benefits touted on the internet include being an antioxidant and a detoxifier that can eliminate heavy metals stored in the liver.
Just think of all of these plant blooming weeks before the official first day of spring! Wishing you a happy spring equinox on March 20.

Jan 25, 2019What Marin’s landscape pros plan to do in their own gardens this year - Marin Independent Journal
Scott Columbo, Kentfield
Courtesy of Scott ColumboScott Columbo's New Year's resolution includes finishing the gardens of his new Kentfield home.
Some years ago, when the San Francisco Flower Show was at its height at the Cow Palace, patrons were treated to the most wonderful and memorable display gardens on the main floor.
One of my favorites was an Italian-style "villa courtyard" with giant pots of fragrant lemon trees, intricate stonework, a refreshing water feature and sensuous lighting.
The garden was envisioned and executed by landscape designer Scott Columbo, the principal of Scott Columbo Designs (scottcolombodesigns.com), a longtime design-build company in Marin.
At the time, he had purchased, and was living in, his grandparents' former home in the West End of San Rafael.
There, his large Mediterranean-style garden, which was featured in Metropolitan Home in the late 2000s, exhibited some of the lush aesthetics of his display garden - lots of substantial stonework, antique French limestone walls, multiple water features, large specimen citrus trees and boxwood hedges.
Last year, he moved his family to a smaller property in Kentfield where both the home and garden will be renovated.
While his San Rafael garden took years to complete before he was satisfied, he hopes to finish his Kentfield garden by the end of 2019.
His front yard will feature a contemporary slant with lots of stonework, including a long "waterwall" feature, and a series of contemporary wooden arches to link the front space to the back garden, where he's planned a pool and spa.
There will be boxwood hedging around the property and a long hedge of arborvitae, "but it will be more constrained than my work in the past. There will be flowering perennials but it will be more crisp and modern."
However, unlike his San Rafael garden that evolved over time, he says, "this one is smaller and I would just like to finish it completely and be able to enjoy it now."
Ive Haugeland, Petaluma
Landscape architect Ive (pronounced Eva) Haugeland is the founder and principal of Shades of Green Landscape Architecture (shadesofgreenla.com), which was established in 2008 in Sausalito.
She and her partner, San Francisco-based architect Mark Cavagnero, share a home in Mill Valley where she says there's little gardening to do as they "only have a little deck.”
Her real gardening is done on acreage in Petaluma, purchased two years ago. They had been looking for a while before finding it. "It had an old 1890s house and a big meadow," she says. "It's a great getaway for both of us. We lower our shoulders when we drive in, and have fun making and designing things there."
They retreat there with Baci, her canine company mascot, and her horse, Rhapsody, in tow, as they oversee the...
