Sebastopol springs arrive loud — plum blossom, quince, poppies volunteering in every strip of dirt — and The Flowering Earth works in the middle of all that urging. The name is the philosophy: ground wants to bloom, and yard care is mostly the art of letting it. Lawns are mowed and fed until they are soft underfoot; beds get their weeds pulled and their mulch renewed so what is planted has room to speak. Even the cleanups feel generative here, old growth cleared so new growth has somewhere to go. The Flowering Earth tends yards in Sebastopol and nearby Graton and Freestone.
