Below, Lucy Tolmach, Filoli's director of horticulture, will give a talk called "Dancing with Daffodils" during the February event. by Barbara Wood t could be argued, especially by those of us who read seed catalogs for pleasure and drool over new plant introductions, that Lucy Tolmach, as Filoli's director of horticulture, has the best job in the world. She gets paid to plan things such as where to plant the 72,000 new daffodil bulbs that were added this year to the garden's collection of close to a million daffodils. The cheery spring bloomers will be celebrated at Filoli in a special program called Daffodil Daydreams from Friday, Feb. 26 through Sunday, Feb. 28. Programs range from classes on assembling mosaics from broken china and demonstrations of flower arranging and painting, to children's craft workshops. Tolmach will give a talk titled "Dancing with Daffodils" at 2:30 p.m. on Friday and the Northern California Daffodil Society will be present to answer questions and hand out information. For the past 33 years Tolmach has worked in the gardens of the grand 654acre Woodside estate, which was left to the National Trust for Historic Preservation by Lurline Matson Roth. Not only does Tolmach work in what many believe is one of the world's most beautiful gardens, but she and her husband also live on the grounds as do a handful of other Filoli employees. In fact, Lucy and Jonathan Tolmach, who is Filoli's head of maintenance, met while working at Filoli. I Nearly a million blooms highlight Filoli's `Daffodil Daydreams' event Lucy Tolmach started her job a mere six months after Filoli was opened to the public in 1976. She admits it was love at first sight. "It really was," she says, even though that first sight was in the winter and little was even in bloom. In those early days there were only six gardeners on the payroll instead of the 14 Tolmach now oversees, and the entire garden was watered with nothing but eight hoses that had to be moved from place to place every 20 minutes. A volunteer program was started in 1977, with 10 original garden volunteers. There now are 10 times that many helping in the garden, with a total of 1,200 volunteers overall. Many of those volunteers, Tolmach says, have been at Filoli longer than most of the staff members. One thing that has been at Filoli longer than even Tolmach is daffodils. "This garden was planted during the great daffodil renaissance," Tolmach says. Nearly 100 years ago, when the gardens at Filoli were originally planted, daffodils were extremely popular and were being planted in masses on many large estates. Many of Filoli's original daffodils, which were new introductions at the time, are still growing where they were originally planted, but now labeled heirlooms. While new daffodils are planted (continued on page 31) Vivian Wong Page 29 CASHIN COMPANY MENLO PARK (650) 614-3500 PALO ALTO (650) 853-7100 ATHERTON MOUNTAIN VIEW Spectacular newly built country Eng manor hm on gorgeous, flat lot with heritage trees & lush landscaping. 5 bd, 5 1/2 ba main house w/1 bd 1 ba fab guest hse!

Linda Caruthers left money in her will to be used by Tolmach for creative garden projects that wouldn't otherwise be funded. This year that was 50,000 daffodil bulbs for the meadow at the rear of the main house. The Golden Dawn daffodils, planted by the loyal garden volunteers, should start blooming in late February and are expected to reach their peak around the end of the first week of March, Tolmach says. Visitors will be able to meander through the field of flowers on a path left open for that purpose. The variety is known to rebloom and may keep flowering in to April. With the green walls of the Santa Cruz Mountains in the background, the meadow should be a scene reminiscent of the poppy fields in the Wizard of Oz. The Golden Dawn variety was bred in Moss Landing by William Welch, known as "Bill the Bulb Baron." It is multi-flowered, naturalizing and scented. Believe it or not, however, the meadow is not the part of the garden with the most daffodils. That honor goes to the area that was once a fruit orchard, but is now known as "Daffodil Field." Each year, Tolmach says, once the potted daffodils finish blooming they are planted in the field, which now has between 600,000 and 700,000 (yes -- more than half a million) daffodils. Visitors can also wander on paths through this field, which additionally features some young fruit trees that should be blooming at the same time. Tolmach says that March 15 should be the prime time for that show that will also have a long bloom period because there are at least 46 different types of daffodils planted in it. "It's going to be a great show this year," she says. If that's not enough daffodils for the Filoli visitors, never fear, there are also bulbs planted along most of the paths and in several other areas. The "Bulb Slope" is a 500-foot-long border of daffodils, many of them old heirloom varieties. Another 500foot-long border is planted under a row of olive trees. Even children will have their own special daffodils at Filoli this year with 13 different types of miniature daffodils planted in pots and placed on the brick walls outside the Visitor and Education Gallery. Daffodils, Tolmach says, are especially well suited for our Mediterrean climate. They are also not attractive to two of our more vociferous pests -- deer and gophers. Filoli has been named an American Daffodil Society display garden, the only one on the West Coast. READ MORE ONLINE For more Home and Real Estate news, visit www. paloaltoonline.com/real_estate.

SUITE 9, LOS ALTOS, CA 94022 (continued on page 34) Page 32 Home & Real Estate PreMier Professorville OPEN SAT & SUN 1:30 � 4:30 PM Garden tips for February Composer inspires ideas for gardening by Jack McKinnon I watch a lot of movies. I get them through the mail, watch them and mail them back. I love it. Mostly, I watch documentaries, history, nature and biographies. Most recently I watched "Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts" about Philip Glass the composer. Several things Glass says in the biography touched me in their similarity to gardening. This month's tips will visit some of these ideas. 1. Allen Ginsberg told Philip Glass "first idea, best idea." The theory goes that if you have an idea (usually in the time it takes to blink, see Malcom Gladwell's book "Blink"), it is good to go with it. How does this apply to gardening? In the garden there are a thousand decisions to make. What do I plant? Do I prune now? Which do I cut first? What do I fertilize with? And on and on. Try using the first idea that comes to mind. It will save time and it may very well be the best choice. 2. When he was composing and playing in lofts in SoHo New York, Glass often had 25 to 30 percent of his audiences walk out. Did he stop composing? No, he kept on with the work he was doing and suggested they find their own favorite music. Do this in your garden too. Your garden is your living art and what others think is none of your business. The important thing is to keep gardening. 3. Be a little "nudge." Glass's sister Abramowitz called Philip (when he was a young boy) "a little nudge." A nudge is a bother, a bit of a pain. If you are a bit of a bother in your garden, it will show better results. Be picky, don't put up with just any design or planting scheme. 4. Do something completely different. Glass said "if you don't need a new technique (to do a piece of art) then what you're saying probably isn't new." In gardening the techniques we use are those of design, planting, cultivating, pruning, watering, fertilizing and harvesting. Think about how you can do these differently to get different results. Ask yourself if you can change one thing to make a big difference. 5. Gardening is art and art is different than farming or golf-course maintenance. Art uses the part of your brain that knows what it likes without thinking about it. Art speaks from and to the heart. You can hear this in music composed by great composers such as Philip Glass. Try to look at your garden with heart. Think of what plant in all the world would make you happy to see every day. Then find a way to get and grow that plant. 6. Here is a practical tip. Now is a great time to plant blueberries. I was talking to Brad at Half Moon Bay Nursery (650-7265392), and looking over his stock of blueberries. I think I am going to get three varieties of highbush blueberries. The plants are longlived, hearty and with cross pollination will produce heavily. Call Brad for the recommendations for your area. 7. Finish up your pruning even if your deciduous plants have started sprouting. It is better if you do winter pruning when it is dead cold but if you are late, do it any way. If the plants drip from their fresh cuts don't worry. They will stop in a few days. Don't cut conifers or you will have to clean up the sap though. 8. Clean up brown or finished camellia blossoms. The brown is caused by petal blight, a fungus. I haven't found a truly good control for this but it is always good practice to remove infected blossoms. If you know a method for controlling petal blight in camellias I would appreciate being able to pass it along. 9. As for garden contractors, the most recent advice I got was to ask: Do you want it done right, well, fast or cheap? Pick two. Look into the directory of Aesthetic Pruners of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs (www. aestheticpruning.org). This is a list of highly trained and or experienced gardeners that can possibly even get three of the above list accomplished. 10. There is so much gardening to do, so much music to compose and so much life to be lived. I think the only way to truly get it all done is to multi-task. Grab your iPod, put on some Philip Glass, bring out some snacks, a notebook, paints and an easel, have some clay handy and a friend or two to share the experience with and go for it. I am sure the flowers will bloom all the more. Good Gardening. Garden coach Jack McKinnon can be reached at 650-879-3261 or 650-455-0687 (cell), by e-mail at email@example.com.
