On Saturday, September 8, 2012, San Mateo Arboretum Society will be having their 37th Annual Hillsborough-San Mateo Fall Garden Tour presents six incredible private gardens that overflow with beauty and inspiration. These homes with amazing views, bird-tuned ravines and peaceful decks are tucked lovingly into our busy Peninsula. Each of these urban treasures reflects the special relationship between homeowner and landscape designer/contractor that helps create such personal and unique havens. All the gardens are in Hillsborough, San Mateo and Burlingame within easy driving distance of each other. The historic Kohl Pumphouse located at San Mateo Central Park is the touchstone of the tour, and will feature a plant sale at the Arboretum Society Greenhouses 10am-5pm, where vendor food will be available for sale. Garden Tour hours: 10:00am–4:00pm. TICKETS are $35 in advance and $40 the day of the tour at the Kohl Pumphouse in Central Park, 101 9th Avenue). Tickets can be purchased Online via PayPal at www.sanmateoarboretum.org. The following local retailers will also be selling tickets: Central Garden Center, Ah Sam Florist, Golden Nursery, SMAS Nursery & Greenhouse, Wisnom Hardware (San Mateo); Blooming Vase (Burlingame); Carlmont Nursery (Belmont); Birder’s Garden (San Carlos); Wegman’s Nursery (Redwood City) and the SMAS Greenhouse/Nursery open Tuesday and Thursday 10:00am – 2:00pm, and Sunday 10:00am–12:00pm.

How exciting to have some of the best orthotic specialists in the WORLD right here in our own…Read More backyard, and with such a commitment to patient care as their top priority! So glad to read this.

PS: Ideally, everybody will be able to sign up at the college website. But I have to acknowledge…Read More that some of the language may not be perfectly as clear as we'd like, especially if this is your first enrollment. So, if you need any assistance (or maybe aren't computer-savvy) the very nice Registrar Office people can assist you on 650/574-6165. Just tell them you want to sign up for Summer semester, Real Estate Practice 110 class, Course Reference number 54642 and that you'd like to complete the enrollment today. You'll like the class once we get you in! Thank you!

Among all the supporters isn't there one competent attorney who can get an injunction to keep the…Read More rink from being destroyed and who can sue SPI Holding, and if necessary the City, to enforce the Master Plan Agreement? A toilet and an astro turf field are useless to ice skaters. I smell something rotten in the Mayor and the City Council's excuses. At least one skater must have a parent or family member who is an attorney with some sense of decency to do the work pro bono.

To close the ice rink is a crime. I had this conversation years ago with Peter Pau, the man who…Read More built it. We need places for children to recreate. When we send them to juvenile hall, we wring our hands and wonder why! No skate board parks in convenient places and now the skating rink. Why are our children the ones to sacrafice?
