The third local garden the boys and I explored was the Luther Burbank Home & Gardens, located in downtown Santa Rosa, CA. “Where world-renowned horticulturist, Luther Burbank, lived and experimented with plants for most of his 50-year career.” I really...

A very popular local magazine had published the “40 Best Ways To Celebrate Summer” in their July/ August issue. I love this magazine. We live in an area that people travel from all over the world to visit, and I only know about Target & Costco. This...

I must have passed Cornerstone Gardens a thousand times and never gave it a second glance. It’s tucked away just enough from the main road that, if you’re not looking for it, you could easily miss it. Although, if you are looking for it, it’s hard to...

I am not a fan of the rain, but I am hoping that when the sun comes out it will be a second chance at catching a swarm of bees. I am hearing from other people that the swarms are out there and they have caught a few, but my two bait boxes are being completely ignored....

I have zero patience. Hubby put my beebox/ baitbox up nice and high in the yard, I added a little lemongrass oil to the entrance and on the lid to attract the bees, and I stood back to watch the bees move in. Five minutes later there are still no bees. WHAT?? The box...
