Here's the first of what I think will become a series of "To-do" list posts. I'm getting ready to head out on an epic train journey across the country with G from Emeryville to Chicago on the California Zephyr. Stay tuned for train posts! I'm looking forward to the slow pace, the beautiful scenery and the people.

Last weekend was the launch of the Natural Discourse installation at the Garden and it was amazing. There are many different artists from various disciplines who have put together exhibits throughout the garden. Don't miss the Mary Ann Friel's Water Pavilion. As a companian to Jane Flint's Publishing Outside the Book series of poem's I wrote an interpretive walk of papermaking plants found in the Garden. You can view the guide here and take it with you. While you're there take a peak at the Plants for Dyes bed in the Herb Garden.
