A garden that delights

No theme limits

Marilyn Waterman’s

imagination

It started out as a cabbage patch. One neighbor even wrote a poem about it.

Nowadays, Willows resident Marilyn Waterman’s front yard is far from a cabbage patch. There aren’t even any cabbages plant-ed alongside the grapevines, apple tree, arti-chokes, strawberries, blueberries and rhubarb that are planted there.

The yard defies description. As a writer, one looks for themes, commonalities, some-thing to tie a story together. But Waterman’s front yard plants, while deliberately chosen, are whimsical, unusual and certainly not uni-form. And there is no theme.

(continued on page 55)

Waterman’s front yard.

Clockwise, from top: In Marilyn Waterman’s Menlo Park garden one can find opuntia (or paddle) cactus; a bull-shaped pot holds succulents; Waterman sits in her “ode to Oaxaca”-style backyard.

For example, her so-called “Dr. Seuss” tree, a deep maroon-leafed creature with leggy branches, reaches over toward a bam-boo plant, placed inside what appears to be a horse trough. Actually, it is a horse trough.

If she had to be pinned down, Waterman would say the garden is “Briggsdale, Colo., meets Napa Valley.”

In other words, she has a low fence outlin-ing the corner lot made to resemble a ranch-er’s fence — similar to her father’s home-stead ranch in Colorado, where there were horses, cattle and an array of food-growing plants.

If there is a theme to her front garden, Waterman sums it up this way: “I like a plant that when I look at it, it delights me.”

Hence her smoke tree, aka Dr. Seuss, is allowed to grow leggy, to resemble a nonsen-sical tree from “The Lorax” or some other of the children’s author’s books.

Interspersed among the fruit-bearing plants and waving grasses are bright orange dots of nasturtiums, and a ground cover that is related to a Japanese maple.

“Size, form and color” is Waterman’s mantra. Always look for variations in these things when picking plants, she says, and of course place them based on how much wa-ter and sun they need. She often tells clients she consults with to place plants in threes or fives for visual interest.

Waterman wasn’t always a garden consul-tant, although she says she’s always been a gardener. She remembers gardening even in Fremont where she grew up and her mother staking out a sweetpea area against her back fence.

In the 1980s, Waterman was a documen-

tary filmmaker. By the ’90s, she’d taken a job at Hewlett-Packard producing marketing videos. In that job, her skills as a visual artist came to the fore, recognizing how color and design would create the most impact.

But gardening was never far from her heart. “I’d go into someone’s cubicle with a plant screaming, ‘rescue me!’ I was always taking orchids home.”

By 2000, it was time for a change, so Waterman volunteered to be laid off during

a downsizing of the company.She and her partner then spent a year in

Oaxaca, in southwestern Mexico, where they gardened in the courtyard of their rental home.

When she returned home, her father was dying, so she spent lots of time by his bed-side where they talked about the things they had in common, like gardening. Before her father died, Waterman knew that she wanted to do something that involved a deeper con-nection with life. So she signed up for a hor-ticulture class at a community college.

Eventually she got a job at Roger Reynolds Nursery in Menlo Park where she worked for more than five years. Her nursery mentors helped her build confidence, interact with customers and solve problems. “I intention-ally treated it like grad school,” she said.

“One thing you do learn when you work at a nursery is you don’t have answers,” she said. Customers would come in with clip-

pings from sick plants and expect the experts to have answers. She learned to say “I don’t know, let’s look it up” often, as she and the customer would head for the Sunset Western Garden Book.

She took and passed the state’s nursery-man’s license test, began writing a column for the San Jose Mercury News, and eventu-ally started her garden consulting business.

She sees herself as a gardening guide, ask-ing clients questions about what they like but letting them make the final decisions.

“I used this yard to practice,” she said. One of the perks of working at a nursery, she said, was being able to take home sick or damaged plants. “I would just watch them. I was collecting a palette.”

Colors abound in the front garden, where grasses grow in waves throughout the yard, their colors changing depending on the breeze, pink on one side, golden or green on the other.

Her low-growing strawberry plants com-plement things like blue-green succulents tucked underneath bushes. She also uses plants to offset each other’s size, shape or color.

The maroons, reds, oranges and light and dark greens eventually lead the eye around to the side gate, where you enter the backyard.

As you go through the gate, your feet crunch on granite fines (finely ground gran-ite stone), leaving Colorado behind, and en-tering: tropical Oaxaca.

The hardscape is now a mix of stepping-stones and fines, as well as a low rectangular ledgestone wall outlining a lush garden of tropical flowers, rose bushes and an abuti-lon tree, heavy with salmon oblong globe-shaped flowers. The tree needs pruning, she said, but she’ll wait awhile because the hum-mingbirds are still enjoying the flowers.

The attractive, sunny yard is cozy with

several sitting nooks and always something to look at. Waterman points proudly to a volunteer tomato vine in the center, planted next to, of all things, an exotic aloe plant that will eventually rise 15 feet tall.

The yard is filled with pots of succulents and cacti in various shapes and colors.

Hidden along the side of the house is a vegetable garden as well as a crowded mini nursery of collected “rescue” plants.

Although hugely a labor of love, Water-man’s garden makeover didn’t come cheap. She estimates the front hardscaping (includ-ing labor and special irrigation to suit dif-ferent plants’ needs) at about $10,000, and the back, which included a stone patio, at $20,000. She used mostly her own cuttings and cast-off nursery plants.

Ultimately, all Waterman really wants back from her garden is for it “to continually engage me, to continually surprise me.”

One surprise she’s received from her gar-den is the interaction her front yard gives her with the neighborhood. One neighbor couldn’t resist giving her a poem about her cabbage patch. Other passersby point out real artichokes to their toddlers, or nibble on the fresh grapes.

On one recent summer day, the garden caught the delighted attention of a group of door-to-door solicitors, who slowly wan-dered along the sidewalk in front of her house commenting, pointing and smiling at the plants.

I recently read Mark Kurlansky’s book, “SALT: A World History.” As salt be-came used for keeping food from spoil-

ing, longer trips with large numbers of people could be taken without the threat of starvation. Countries that had more salt and could produce and sell it became the center of the trading universe. Whole em-pires rose because they had gobs of salt.

Doesn’t that sound like what is currently happening today, except instead of salt, we are talking about OIL? I hope I live long enough to read the history book that ex-plains why oil was no longer what made the world go round. Oil possession may soon no longer be what wars are fought over.

We can either transition from oil to al-ternative energy in a proactive manner, or we can use every last bit of oil that we can find in the ground and then have our world come to a screeching halt. The latter just doesn’t sound like the way to move for-ward for the next generations. If we are really going to leave our children a world that’s better off than what we found, we re-ally need to wean ourselves off of this oil addiction. And to do that we need a whole new infrastructure made up of electric charging stations instead of gas stations.

One of the primary ways to live the “post-oil” dream is to get our private ve-hicles filled up with something other than gas. The cleanest form of alternative-energy transportation is electric cars and trucks. Today more than 25 percent of all cars and light trucks on the road worldwide are in the U.S. “More oil is consumed by internal-combustion engines used in trans-portation than in any other human activ-ity,” according to a story in the Christian Science Monitor, Oct. 10, 2011.

There are great all-electric and plug-in hybrid cars available with 100-300-mile ranges between charges. Nissan, and our local manufacturer Tesla, are producing all-electric vehicles while Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota have plug-in hybrids available now with all-electrics coming soon.

The federal government is now encour-aging installation of electric charging sta-tions in local communities at no cost to the applicant. And if you install a charg-ing station on your commercial property, it shows up on GPS maps so electric car owners will know where they can park and get a charge with their handy credit card. Every shopping center and every nation-

wide business chain (such as Denny’s or Applebee’s) should be flooding the gov-ernment for requests to have charging stations put in their parking lots. City planners are antici-pating a traffic jam of plug-ins waiting to be

charged. From Seattle to Boston progres-sive planners are installing thousands of charging stations.

What are the travelers going to do dur-ing the half hour or more while their car is charging? They are going to eat or shop or do both, and what better news can that be for the American economy? And the cost of charging your car at a charging station is $2 an hour and depending on the charge rate, that hour could get you another 100 miles or so down the road. What a bargain!

The other big consideration is that pri-vate car ownership is the biggest source of rising energy consumption for transporta-tion. If more high-speed rail existed in our country, there would be fewer cars on the road and fewer traffic accidents. Is it really un-American to get in a vehicle that is car-rying more than one or two persons?

We know that the oil addiction we’ve been living with is causing national secu-rity issues whenever there is a threat of supply disruption. We know that oil is a limited resource and will be competed for more fiercely with the rise of emerging nations such as China, India and Brazil. We also know that oil is one of the key contributors to global warming.

So what are we doing about cutting our own oil consumption? We live in a pro-gressive community that is known for looking ahead and creating new ways of living. After all, we are Silicon Valley — home of the Internet and the iPad.

The transition away from oil for energy is already happening. I, for one, am evalu-ating which electric car to get in line for. I want to speed up the writing of that book we have all been waiting for ... “Life After Oil.”

PALO ALTO 578 University Avenue

276 Loucks Avenue, Los AltosP resenting a stunning contemporary interior, this

beautiful home, built in 2007 and designed by a world-class Bay Area architect, boasts every modern luxury. Bright with natural light, the home’s gorgeous hardwood floors, clean lines, and a soft neutral color palette combine for an ambiance that is chic and styl-ish. The three-level floor plan provides ample room for every need – whether entertaining with friends, enjoy-ing large family gatherings, or just quiet times alone. Formal living areas as well as a stunning kitchen and family room ensemble give way to more casual pursuits on the lower level with flexible space for media, recre-ation, fitness, and even home office needs. Upstairs, three bedroom suites are highlighted by a luxurious master, while a fourth suite on the lower level provides ideal accommodations for guests. Completing the appeal of this special home is the oversized rear yard where a vast deck and level lawn are the perfect set-ting for outdoor entertaining and play. All of this, plus a location in sought-after North Los Altos that puts the Village and top-rated schools all close at hand.

“If I want a Best Seller, I advertise in the Almanac and the Weekly.” – Lyn Jason Cobb

As a Realtor serving Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, Portola Valley and Woodside, I do my utmost to provide extraordinary service to my clients. The Almanac and the Palo Alto Weekly is always where I advertise fi rst because I like the home delivery, editorial focus, and it is a great value. I have always had great results promoting open homes in the Palo Alto Weekly and The Almanac, and I also run in special publications like Spring and Fall Real Estate, Neighborhoods and Info Menlo because of the great coverage and online presence. I am also a big believer in the Palo Alto Weekly’s Open Home Guide, which is by far the most accurate and comprehensive. I’ve had many buyers bring in the guide to my ‘Open Homes’ to see what I have listed.”

We will work to help your business grow! For Advertising information, please call

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: ROBERT CODNER CARLSON Case No.: 1-11-PR 169755 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of ROBERT CODNER CARLSON. A Petition for Probate has been filed by: JUDITH WELLS KINCAID in the Superior Court of California, County of SANTA CLARA. The Petition for Probate requests that: JUDITH WELLS KINCAID be appointed as personal representative to adminis-ter the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the person-al representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to inter-ested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an inter-ested person files an objection to the

petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A HEARING on the petition will be held on December 28, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. in Dept.: 3 of the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, located at 191 N. First St., San Jose, CA, 95113. If you object to the granting of the peti-tion, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: /s/ Judith V.
