As we sit knee-deep in the midst of another beautiful California summer, it is always a great time to reflect on our privileged existence in the gentle Mediterranean Climate. Watching the evening news reminds us that we are beyond lucky to avoid dealing with things like torrential downpours, heat waves, tornados, hurricanes, humidity, and the list goes on. We sit back and bask in the countless sunny days, occasional fog, and cool and refreshing ocean air. And as much as we appreciate it, the huge multitude of garden plants that our Mediterranean climate fosters appreciate it even more. Ahhh the joys of summer gardening, with blooms abound and pollinators on cloud nine!!! Please help us carouse in the summer garden celebration at a huge array of garden markets this August. On Saturday August 10, Crescent Hill will be helping bring in the Golden Anniversary of the Benicia Peddlers Faire in Benicia, Ca. The long standing event quickly became one of our favorites last year, and includes antiques, great food, throngs of quality vendors, and the gentle and charming waterfront location. On Sunday August 11, we will be displaying at the Artzfest in Burlingame, Ca. As always, we will happily share the floor with live music performances and a whole bevy of wonderful local artisans in the quaint downtown setting. Crescent Hill rounds out the month on Sunday August 25 with the always fun Niles Antique Fair, just east of Fremont, in historic Niles, Ca. Wake up early, and enjoy antique hunting as the whole town opens up shop in the annual event!!
Maps and directions to all events are available on the CALENDAR page of the website linked below. www.crescenthillnursery.com
