Silicon Valley Welcomes the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show!

Nothing says spring in Silicon Valley like the arrival of colorful, fragrant blooms. A home garden can provide beautiful scenery to relax your senses, or supply a bounty of herbs and vegetables for your dinner table. Bay area gardens flourish in all sizes, from windowsill boxes to patios to community plots.

You can dig up new garden ideas by visiting the world-class San Francisco Flower & Garden Show at the San Mateo Event Center. The annual show celebrates “Life in the California Garden” and runs from March 23 through March 27.

New this year are "garden to table" cooking demonstrations by top Bay Area chefs, including Sean Baker of Gather Restaurant, Esquire Magazine’s Chef of the Year for 2010, and culinary icon Alice Waters, owner of the Chez Panisse restaurant and author of The Art of Simple Food.

The restaurant luminary list rounds out impressively with Executive Chefs Andrea Froncillo of The Stinking Rose, Roland Passot of La Folie, and Jeffrey Stout of Alexander’s Steakhouse.

It wouldn’t be a garden show without gardens! You’ll find 20 full-size garden installations from the Bay Area’s foremost horticulture and landscape professionals. Design seminars feature notable experts such as HGTV personality Gary Gragg, and award-winning landscaper Jeffrey Gordon Smith.

Children are welcome at the show. “Sproutopia”, a special children’s area, will provide hands-on learning and fun for young, budding gardeners.

The San Francisco Flower & Garden Show is one of the largest garden shows in the country, offering 75 seminars and films, 200 vendors, a full farmer’s market, wine tasting, book signings, and great food. It’s a fun way to grow your gardening skills in Silicon Valley!

A good garden, no matter the size, will improve your outdoor living space. A well-tended garden also shows pride of home ownership. If you have a growing interest in buying or selling a home in Silicon Valley, contact me for the best in real estate service!

There are many qualities and skills that go into being an excellent real estate professional - integrity, in-depth community and market knowledge, marketing savvy, effective negotiation skills and a high-quality professional network, all of which are hallmarks of how I work. That said, in my experience as a real estate professional, I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting my clients first. This means keeping myself accessible, being a good listener as well as a good communicator, and responding quickly to your needs. This "client first" philosophy has always been my approach and it requires me to continually improve my skills and ways of doing business. In addition, I've found that the latest technologies are enabling me to do everything I've always done, only much more quickly and efficiently. They've also helped me to extend the range of services I provide to my clients. So when you decide that you'd like to buy or sell a home in the Silicon Valley, please contact me.

Silicon Valley is in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area in Northern California. Typically considered to be comprised of several counties; San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda and Santa Cruz. The region is home to many of the world's largest technology corporations., such as Yahoo, Google, Apple, eBay, Cisco, etc. The term originally referred to the region's large number of silicon chip innovators and manufacturers, but eventually came to refer to all the high-tech businesses in the area; it is now generally used as a metonym for the American high-tech sector. Despite the development of other high-tech economic centers throughout the United States and the world, Silicon Valley continues to be the leading hub for high-tech innovation and development, accounting for one third of all the venture capital investment in the United States. Geographically, the Silicon Valley encompasses all of the Santa Clara Valley including the city of San Jose (and adjacent communities), the southern Peninsula, and the southern East Bay. This includes cities such as Mountain View, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, San Mateo, San Carlos and many more!
