Started by Richard Ward and Keith Calhoun in 1987 the nursery has become to the neighboring community. Bowling balls, which serve as garden decor, came from Marcia Donahue, a neighbor of the nursery and fellow plant enthusiast, he said. “Probably 25 years ago, she passed me 15 or 20 of them over the fence,” Ward said. “We just spread them around. They’re just another ornament, like a round rock or something.” (We sketched in Marsha's present garden in August. http://urbansketchers-bayarea.blogspot.com/2016/08/wonderful-garden-in-berkeley.html)
You do "wet" so well Cathy. Must be you've had some practice! I notice you switched to paint and w/c pencil for these, wisely I think to get the softness of light?
