Each garden has a name reflecting some special plant or feature. After 47 years we’ve had many successes but probably an equal number of failures. And in October of 2020 the Glass Fire, named for a prominent aboriginal location where it started, a mountain of obsidian glass located east of the town of St. Helena and burning 27,310 hectares, ravaged two thirds of our 22 hectares but fortunately much of our 20 planted acres and home were spared. Devastating and heartbreaking, not only for us but many of our neighbors lost everything!
