Marin County offers an abundance of outdoor pursui Marin County offers an abundance of outdoor pursuits, both active and leisurely, but perhaps there’s no better place to enjoy them than in your own outdoor space. A thoughtful landscaping plan beautifies your property and expands your living space. But how we enjoy and design our outdoor spaces has changed a lot in recent years, especially due to the pandemic.

The ongoing drought, climate change, migration and the booming housing market are other factors influencing landscape design right now, according to a recent outdoor living trend report by Yardzen, an online landscape design firm based in Sausalito. “The American yard is at an inflection point,” says Yardzen CEO and cofounder Allison Rhodes Messner. “We’re seeing a shift in how people design and interact with their outdoor spaces. Homeowners want outdoor spaces that are not only treated to a high level of design, but encourage interaction and functional use, and are designed with sustainability top of mind.” 

With this new era of landscape design in mind, we asked a few pros to share their insights into the latest trends and tips for creating personalized outdoor retreats. Here’s what to keep in mind as you embark upon your next landscaping project, whether it’s a simple refresh or a complete do-over.

Today, the United States Supreme Court overturned Today, the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The ruling cements the swelling fear that the Court would abandon logic and legal protections in order to entrust abortion rights to the hands of each state. While this definitive stance holds reproductive rights and bodily autonomy in its grip, it does not diminish the alternative avenues Americans might navigate to receive care and buck against this systemic decision.⁣

Do you recognize any of these buildings? Next time Do you recognize any of these buildings? Next time you’re in downtown San Rafael, take a few moments for a short stroll along Fourth Street and marvel at the architecture.

Visitors often remark that the city looks like a classic “old California” town from a 1940s-era movie. That’s not a coincidence. Unlike so many other cities in California, San Rafael has retained much of the charm of a pre-World War II town, with hundreds of Victorian-era and early 20th-century commercial buildings lining Fourth Street in its historic business district. Dozens of these older buildings have retained their original facades, and many still have some of their original interior features as well.
