Travelers from the East constantly comment upon a California phenomenon never seen in Eastern cities - the long strings of men and girls pouring out of our cities and towns on holidays, clad in hiking costumes and filing along the roadways - for the roads lead to the trails and the trails to the hills. I The work of our State Department of. Forestry in planting and decorating the highways assumes, therefore, more than a special or group interest. While such improvements increase the pleasure and contentment of the traveler and add large economic values to the regions traversed by the roads, the work serves an additional purpose in giving expression to the spirit of our people, their feeling for the out-of-doors - for the hills, valleys and mountain ranges of this state. For these roads will not merely carry the traffic load of trade, binding city to city, but ably planned and adorned they will be silvan threads worthy to join the wonderlands of California each to each and these in turn with the centers of population. In this manner such work will give a visible sign of the mental attitude and Spirit of the Californians. Willis Linn Jepson. University of California, June 18, 1921.

Even in San Diego's North County where the celebrated 37-acre botanic garden they originated in the 1940s and 50s is located, few people know who they were.Sally Sandler aims to rescue them from relative obscurity and give them their rightful place in history. After more than five years of research, she has brought to light the journey that carried them in 1943 from urban life in Kansas City to a modest ranch on a hillside in Encinitas, California. She explores their combined and individual creative gifts, their commitment to younger generations and the impact of their generosity. And she reveals the complex and difficult circumstances that followed their lives at "El Rancho San Ysidro de las Flores."Sandler has been a docent at San Diego Botanic Garden since 2007 and has been researching its history for five years. Her gardening articles have been published in D�cor and Style Magazine, Let's Talk Plants, the newsletter of the San Diego Horticultural Society, Quail Tracks, the newsletter of San Diego Botanic Garden, and the website for the San Diego Union-Tribune.Including a Foreword by Julian Duval, President/CEO of San Diego Botanic Garden, and an Afterword by Dave Ehrlinger, Director of Horticulture, 2002 to 2013."Turning real people into legends is one thing, but turning legends into real people is so much better." -Steve Brigham, former Foundation Board Member at San Diego Botanic Garden, founder of Buena Creek Gardens, and author, Ornamental Trees of San Diego and Ornamental Trees for Mediterranean Climates.
