As one of Ron and Kathy´s neighbors in the Hillcrest/Coulter neighborhood, I am especially grateful to Ron for his generosity in creating and sharing his native plants garden with paths and lovely benches. Beauty in every season was an incredible gift to us and we think of him every time we see it.
