The garden at the San Francisco Zen Center’s Green Gulch Farm was started years ago by Alan Chadwick, an English gardener who left behind a wonderful legacy of gardeners and gardens (including the farm at UC Santa Cruz). There’s a row of these espaliered apple trees. If you’re a gardener living in the San Francisco area, this is a wonderful garden to visit. I believe they’re open to the public on weekends.
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
