On this exquisite Healdsburg summer morning I took a walk around town noticing the interesting things that people are doing to beautify that little plot of soil along their curb.
The last two blocks of Tucker Street provide some particularly good examples of how folks have extended their creativity all the way to the curb. My most favorite is a house on the last block of Tucker whose front is completely lined in tall, stretching sunflowers, a few of which are just beginning to blossom. There are sunflowers along the curb as well as behind and in front of the white picket fence, and it is a joyous experience to walk between them.
The curb of Nancy Morgan (our talented ceramic artist) on First Street also has sunflowers--along with other interesting looking veggies. In this neighborhood at least there seems to be a trend of growing your garden right up to the street. What a wonderful idea and what fun to see as we walk by.
I'd like to invite people to use this blog to tell us about these little surprises that are all around our beautiful town.
Does anyone know who lives in the house surrounded by sunflowers? It remains a mystery to me.
