The inaugural Rancho Santa Fe Garden Fair & Market was a blooming success thanks to some nurturing from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Our company was title sponsor of the Oct. 17 event honoring the Balboa Park Centennial.
The 100-year anniversary salute featured free landscape consulting, plant and garden gift sales, irrigation district rebates, horticulture presentations, children’s activities, a photo booth, and food trucks with refreshments available for purchase. Special guest presenter Thomas Herrera-Mishler, executive director of the Balboa Park Conservancy, gave a talk on the park’s efforts to incorporate sustainable landscaping techniques.
“Our company and agents recognize how much value the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Fair & Market brings to horticulture and conservation efforts in their community. It was our pleasure to help ensure the success of this much-appreciated event,” said David M. Cabot, our President and CEO.
“Our agents and staff strive to be involved members of the neighborhoods where they live and work. This event is another way we support our community.”
The free event organized by the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club was held at the Rancho Santa Fe Association/Community Center.

There are few things better than fresh fruit from your own garden. You can bake the fruit into a pie, toss it in a salad, or just snack on it.
In Southern California, there’s a wide variety of fruit trees that flourish and produce sweet, delicious fruit. Fruit trees, however, can be a bit tricky. You need to have the right soil, the right amount of sunlight, the right chill exposures, and much more. But once you’ve figured out how to care for your precious fruit trees, the reward will be worth the effort.
First, determine if there is enough space for your trees. Fruit trees need to be roughly three to six feet away from buildings and sidewalks. You won’t want your roots running into cement or the base of your house, and you won’t want to risk the tree damaging your home when it grows taller and wider. You will also want to make sure your trees have about ten or more feet of space between each before you plant.
Then, assess the land in your yard. What spots in your yard get at least six hours of sun a day during growing season? Make sure buildings or other trees don’t block direct sunlight.
