Much to our delight, this aerial picture of our tree farm seems to have a harvest lady pointing to our Napa tree labyrinth!  We didn’t attempt to create this but the sun was at the right angle and the satellite took the picture on the right day of the year at the right time of the day to show a giant lady with a flowing dress and what I call a harvest basket on her head!  Although the labyrinth paths were not correct on that day, they have since been fixed to be closer to the old (4K years) pattern called Cretan.  Considering that the labyrinth and the rest of the property has plenty of food to put in a basket, we were so amazed when we “found” her.  Can you see her??

Main Street Trees’ garden buddies Dave and Suzin have a FANTASTIC garden on La Homa in Napa.  If you drive by this month you will see the happiest collection of sunflowers in the area.  Dave’s sunflowers are feeding the pollinators, so thanks Dave!

Dave Dexter and his crew from DEXTER estate landscapes moved this huge Valley Oak we grew to a Windsor,  Sonoma County golf course from our growing ground at Main Street Trees in Napa.  The lobata grew from an acorn that fell from the old trees on our property.  This tree was about 15 years old.  Valley Oaks are the most appropriate oak tree for our area with clay soil on the valley floor, although Coast Live Oaks grow great here too.

Here they are finishing up the planting of this lovely Valley Oak tree!  The Valley Oak likes water and is native so growing on a golf course is a great place.  It will provide shade and a place for nature such as birds.
