The variety of landscapes in Sonoma County is staggering. It is easy to travel from Tuscany to Seattle on the roads that crisscross the county.
A recent visit to Monte Rio, reminded us of a scene from the Pacific Northwest. Towering Douglas Firs shade western sword ferns and native huckleberry. One resident thinned the canopy of Douglas Fir to provide light for a grove of young Japanese Maples. Bright Coral Bark Maples, deep red Emperor Maples, and soft Lace Leaf Maples simultaneously contrast and enhance the native foliage.
In a few years, it could look like Japan. Or, with a group pruning effort from Studio Wildwood and the homeowners, it could look like Sonoma.
