Redwood Acre

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

My property was first developed almost 100 years ago as a summer cabin for a San Francisco doctor and his family. He later turned into a Boy Scout camp, complete with a horse or two and a wading pond. There are lots of trees here, including live oaks, redwoods, firs, big leaf maples and even a date palm and two old jubaeas.

The trees mean there is not quite as much sun for the roses as I'd like, but I wouldn't want to live without the old trees for a minute. They make it easy to create private spaces to enjoy the roses, and add valuable structure to the garden. I grow mostly older rose varieties. My favorite classes are the teas, gallicas and ramblers. I'm lucky enough to have a climate where I can grow almost any type of rose. I stopped counting after 100, but my guess is that I now grow about 130 different roses. I enjoy photographing them, and making bouquets to show them off!
