New Sage Advice and TOLN Lawn Replacement Resources
 Think about it. What do you really use your front yard for? In fact, do you even use your front yard? The typical answer “The front yard is here to make the house look more appealing from the street.” And the standard fall-back design has persisted: a patch of green grass surrounded by a few shrubs. That tired old “lawn” look is not very interesting, and certainly not viable (sustainable) in southern California’s dry Mediterranean climate. It’s a lot of work, water, fertilizer, chemicals and green waste transport, with no local habitat value. A big environmental negative. Not much return on your investment.
 Consider the no-lawn alternative if you have not already...

Featured Artist: Mark Kerckhoff
February 17, 2007
9:00 AM-4:00 PM
Join us Saturday February 17, 2007 as Tree of Life Nursery once again presents the newest works of San Juan Capistrano’s own Mark Kerckhoff. Mark Kerckhoff paints nature and creates beauty in the manner of a master. His art, highly regarded in southern California for nearly thirty years, is at once inspired and inspirational. The time he spends out doors is transferred from his eye, to his heart, to hand, to brush, to canvas; then conveyed to the eye of the beholder and to their heart.
Incredibly, through the use of color, light, composition, and depth, Mark’s paintings carry the viewer to the time and place of the piece, or even to a different time and place that only the viewer can know. Like the scenes depicted, Mark’s paintings are fresh and new at each encounter; the kind of art you can live with and relate with every day, definitely not static, very much alive. Kerckhoff's work will be shown in Casa 'La Paz' until May.
