| editor’s letter | 

Before becoming a parent, 

I never truly valued or 

took full advantage of 

our region’s public parks. 

Sure, I visited them for 

the occasional picnic, 

jog, or game of tennis, 

and knew they brought natural beauty into 

neighborhoods, but never realized just how 

crucial they are to a community. 

Now, as the mom to a tantrum-prone toddler, 

parks—playgrounds, in particular—are a daily 

destination for us. Give my daughter a sandbox, 

swing set, and an open field to frolic in, and 

her attitude instantly improves. In addition to 

providing hours of free, fresh-air amusement, 

they’ve also proven to be a primo place to meet 

fellow mom friends. (If you’ve never watched 

“Dear Cool-Looking Mom in the Park” on 

YouTube and feel like laughing, check it out. It 

pretty much sums up my attempt at having a 

social life these days.) 

Lucky for us, our region is overflowing with parks (hundreds, in fact, with even more 

in the works) waiting to be explored. Turn to “Walk in the Park” on page 22 for 10 of our 

favorites—picked for their abundance of amenities, environmental components, stunning 

scenery, or all the above. Next time you find yourself in a funk, the solution might be as 

simple as going for a stroll in one of these gorgeous green spaces. A recent study published 

in People and Nature found that spending time at parks boosts your mood as much as 

Christmas morning. Talk about an easy, inexpensive way to feel merry and bright! 

Readers looking for other outdoor diversions are in luck. There’s plenty more ideas 

in the pages that follow—from our feature, “Choose Your Own Adventure” (page 59) 

that’s jam-packed with alfresco activities like chasing waterfalls, nerding out on birds, 

and discovering local downtown districts; to “Nurture Nature” (page 26), where we talk 

about the importance of Earth Day and easy ways to lessen your 

environmental impact today, and every day; and “Home Grown” 

“Parks and 

playgrounds 

are the soul 

of a city.” 

—Marty Rubin 

Shop Local... 

Where it Matters. 

(page 44) featuring nine secrets to garden success this spring. 

Speaking of spring, turn to Editor’s Picks (page 38) for 14 musthaves 

to welcome the season in style, including floral-print 

apparel, locally made honey, and a wine country tote that holds 

all the necessities for a perfect picnic (i.e., not one but two bottles 

of vino). After purchasing the items at local mom-and-pop shops, 

you’ll be ready to soak up all the fun and sun this month. 

If you’ve never considered yourself “green” or “outdoorsy,” I 

hope this issue inspires you to think differently, act accordingly, 

and play outside whenever, however you can. Because, if you’re 

anything like me, even 10 minutes of fresh air will make a monumental difference in your 

day. Cheers!

What was 

your first 

job? 

“A summer-long landscaping gig 

for a family friend, preparing 

his backyard to be a wedding 

venue. I did it all—fence 

construction, deck demolition, 

and everything in between.” 

—Ray Burgess 

“Other than babysitting, my first 

job was wrapping gifts in high 

school during the holidays. I 

was horrible at it then, and 

I'm horrible at it now. I've 

learned to invest in a lot of gift 

bags and tissue paper. Problem 

solved!”—Debra Linn 

“My first job was in landscaping. 

I’ve always loved the outdoors, 

so this was a great start and 

taught me the value of hard 

work.”—Ryan Martinez

GENERAL DERMATOLOGY 

“At age 16, I worked as a baker 

at Paradise Bakery. It sure 

was delicious but got me into 

trouble with my waistline!” 

—JoAnn DeLise 

“My friend's mom owned Lake 

Forest Café, and I used to help 

as a busser every once in 

a while. My first steady job, 

however, was at the Sonoma 

State bookstore while I was in 

college.”—Emily Peter-Corey 

“My first job was at a dilapidated 

dog kennel in Pinole Valley. The 

owner was a hoarder and 

eccentric college English 

professor. I came home every 

day with mud, dog poop, and 

straw on my boots and pants. I 

was 14 and felt so sorry for those 

dogs!”—Lorn Randall 

“I taught creative writing and 

English comprehension to 

6th and 7th graders at an 

after-school center. It was a 

memorable experience, and I 

still miss those kids!”

#What’sUp? 

by MEGAN WISKUS 

Congrats to the City of Placerville for 

being awarded second place for their 

National Night Out 2020 campaign. 

The 37th annual event—which enhances 

the relationship between neighbors and 

law enforcement while bringing back a 

true sense of community—involved over 

16,000 communities across the U.S. For 

this year’s celebration, a small portion 

of the street between Sourdough & Co. 

and the Bell Tower was sectioned off 

for socially distanced street dining and 

meal deals at participating restaurants, 

including Amore Mio, Placerville Public 

House, and Powell’s Steamer Co. & Pub. 

Those interested in helping to plan this 

year’s NNO can reach out to the Placerville 

Police Department at 530-642-5210. 

Congrats to the Folsom Telegraph 

on their 165th anniversary! The oldest 

newspaper in Sacramento County, and 

the fourth oldest weekly publication in 

California, it has grown from being a 

four-page paper (known as The Granite 

Journal) published in a Historic Folsom 

basement to being the primary source 

of trusted, reliable community news. 

There’s a new nonprofit in town! Placer 

Business Alliance (placerbusiness. 

com), which is dedicated to preserving 

and enhancing Placer County’s business 

climate through direct engagement with 

local and regional leaders, has been 

established to help further economic 

development in the region. To see 

how your business can benefit, email

5 Top Teens 

BY TARA MENDANHA 

Despite the challenges and adversities of the past year, our students 

have still managed to come out on top. Here are some of the region's 

best and brightest minds.

Thomas Rexin 

17 

VISTA DEL LAGO HIGH SCHOOL 

homas has already made great strides in his 17 years. An 

active member of the California Scholarship Federation and 

Key Club, he’s been a student senator and National Honor 

Society inductee for the last three years. He’s also adept at the 

clarinet and has earned his music varsity letter. 

Eagar to share his time and talents, Thomas is a peer tutor 

on STEM subjects and helps second graders with reading and 

comprehension skills. He also happens to be a big basketball fan, 

having co-founded his school’s basketball club and worked as a 

Folsom Youth Basketball Association official. “I thrive to have a 

balanced lifestyle, keeping fit by eating right, playing basketball, 

working out, hanging out, and playing video games with my 

friends,” says the well-rounded teen. 

After earning a perfect composite score of 36 on his first try 

of the ACT, Thomas will be dual graduating this year with a high 

school diploma and associate degree in interdisciplinary studies 

in math and science from Folsom Lake College. “I’m proud of 

these accomplishments because I worked really hard, and it 

proved to me that hard work does pay off…I plan to earn my 

bachelor’s degree in the STEM field,” he says. 

Thomas’ biggest aspiration is to give back to the community. 

Realizing the importance of people in his life, he is constantly 

inspired by his grandparents and looks up to his godfather, Tony, 

who supports all his endeavors. “The pandemic has given me a 

new perspective on life and taught me to take advantage of the 

time that we have with friends and family.”

Jacob Maximus No

JESUIT HIGH SCHOOL 

Kriti Vasudevan 

16 

GRANITE BAY HIGH SCHOOL 

A 

sk Jacob how he would describe himself and you get an 

honest yet endearing answer: “oddly mature but still loves to 

have fun!” This grown-up teen is passionate about helping 

homeless veterans and uses his position as youth president of 

Sacramento Stand Down (sacramentostanddown.org)—a nonprofit 

that works to get homeless veterans off the street, providing 

adequate health care, shelter, employment, and more—to build 

awareness and garner support among his peers to the plight of 

veterans today. “It’s very satisfying when I can make a positive 

difference in another person's life,” he says. 

When he’s not out championing this cause, Jacob spends his 

time playing basketball, video gaming, and between numerous 

clubs—Asian Pacific, Mathletes, and Theoretical Astrophysics, to 

name a few. A member of the Boy Scouts of America, he’s also 

earned Eagle Scout status—something he’s very proud of. 

Jacob strives to be like his father, who has a strong work 

ethic and unique approach to life. A member of the National 

Honor Society and California Scholarship Federation, Jacob will 

be attending Emory University next year—his first time living 

outside California. “I'm looking forward to living in the South,” he 

says excitedly, ready to face any adventure head-on. “One thing 

the pandemic taught me is that everyone deals with fear in a 

different way. I would like to make sure that I approach things 

with an open mind.” 

FAVORITES 

ESCAPE: I'm a foodie. 

GUILTY PLEASURE: Video games. 

MEAL IN TOWN: Orange chicken at Panda Express. 

LOCAL LANDMARK: Folsom Lake. 

MOVIE: The entire Bourne series. 

MUSICIAN/BAND: Luke Combs (thanks to my brother). 

BOOK: Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis. 

SAYING: "Do a Good Turn Daily"—Boy Scout slogan. 

K 

riti has as many accomplishments as she has interests. 

Her love for speech, debate, advocacy, and volunteerism 

has translated into many worthy undertakings, and she’s 

determined to make her voice be heard in everything she does. 

Her most recent vocation has been her podcast, “Spill the 

KriTEA” (available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts), where she 

discusses societal issues and personal passions for an audience 

of her peers. Topics include the Black Lives Matter movement, 

skincare, and literacy, and she’s reached listeners in far-flung 

places like Morocco, France, and Nigeria. Kriti also spends her 

time studying skincare and shares her experiences and tips on 

her blog, Let’s Detox About It. 

Another way she uses her voice is at Cognitive Exchange, a local 

student-run nonprofit that aims to teach speech and debate to 

students in impoverished places across the world to “uplift human 

potential and provide students with the power of democratic 

thinking.” Her group’s efforts have resulted in over 4,500 graduates, 

expanding to schools in Africa and South America. “I’ve had the 

privilege to collaborate with CEOs and school administrators, but 

also meet so many compassionate individuals working to uplift their 

own communities,” she says, adding, “in the future, I definitely hope 

to travel more and work with more nonprofits—hopefully volunteer 

with the Peace Corps in Africa for a few years after college.” 

Life is one big, beautiful adventure to Kriti and there doesn’t 

seem to be an end in sight. “We only have one life, so working 

hard, doing my best, and taking risks motivates me!” 

FAVORITES 

ESCAPE: Music. 

GUILTY PLEASURE: Eating tubs of ice cream. 

MEAL IN TOWN: Thai Paradise. 

LOCAL LANDMARK: World Peace Rose Garden.

Laine Weber 

18 

GRANITE BAY HIGH SCHOOL 

Kylie Cox 

17 

PONDEROSA HIGH SCHOOL 

L 

aine is a champion lacrosse player but that isn’t the only 

thing she’s good at. “Not many people know about my high 

GPA,” she says. “Most people look at athletes and assume we don’t 

put a ton of effort into academics when that is not true.” After all, if 

it weren’t for her sport and academic accomplishments, she might 

not have gotten into the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. 

Laine's love of lacrosse began in the third grade when the 

Granite Bay High School girls' lacrosse team conducted a clinic 

during PE. "I rushed home with a flyer and told my mom that 

I wanted to play lacrosse," she recalls. She's played nonstop 

ever since and has even won the Sacramento Valley Lacrosse 

Championship with her team. 

Laine was 15 when she met the U.S. Coast Guard women’s 

lacrosse head coach at a showcase. Her grandma encouraged 

her interest in the career and Laine applied to their “Cadet for 

a Day” program where she got to shadow a lacrosse player and 

experience cadet life. From then on, Laine knew this was what 

she wanted to do. “I’m often questioned about my decision to 

pursue a military career, because it’s a very unconventional path 

for someone from my background,” she says, owing much of her 

confidence to her supportive parents. 

Off-field, Laine likes to watch The Office and participate at her 

church. And she’s counting down the days till she leaves for the 

Academy. “I'm excited to receive an excellent education and give 

back to the country and communities I love.” 

FAVORITES 

ESCAPE: Any place outside enjoying nature and my dogs. 

GUILTY PLEASURE: In-N-Out Burger. 

MEAL IN TOWN: Hazumi Sushi Bar. 

LOCAL LANDMARK: 5% Beach at Folsom Lake. 

MOVIE: Happy Gilmore. 

MUSICIAN/BAND: J. Cole. 

BOOK: Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. 

SAYING: "You have to do what others will not to get ahead." 

K 

ylie loves all the regular teen stuff—reading, hanging out 

with friends, watching movies…then there’s the other side to 

her—the one that excels in sports and school. An active member 

of the California Scholarship Federation, she’s president of the 

Key Club, has won over 20 local beach volleyball tournaments 

over the last year, and plays piano. Despite having a full plate, 

Kylie has also volunteered at the Cameron Park Library and The 

Bookhouse in Cameron Park, accumulating 200 community 

service hours in four years—all while raking up a 4.47 GPA. With 

such outstanding achievements, it’s no wonder that this 

valedictorian was recently named “Student Service Leader of the 

Month” by the Kiwanis Club of Placerville. 

Kylie’s keen on becoming a neurologist to treat people 

with brain disorders and research cures for neurodegenerative 

diseases. “I’ve been following the news every day during the 

pandemic, and it’s been eye-opening to see how the medical 

world is reacting to COVID-19,” she says. The pandemic also 

taught her to step out of her comfort zone. “I was a very ‘safe’ 

person, [sticking] to what I knew would be successful in the end. 

However, I’ve lost so many opportunities due to quarantine and 

realized that I can’t take things for granted anymore; I should take 

risks and make the most of every opportunity,” she says. 

Looks like opportunity’s come knocking, for Kylie’s been 

offered a full-ride scholarship to the University of Alabama and 

has also been accepted to Notre Dame. “I know that if I put in the 

effort, I will be rewarded later by my success.” 

FAVORITES 

ESCAPE: Running while listening to music. 

GUILTY PLEASURE: Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. 

MEAL IN TOWN: Nekter Juice Bar’s acai bowls. 

LOCAL LANDMARK: Sierra-at-Tahoe Resort. 

MOVIE: The Princess Bride. 

MUSICIAN: Tame Impala. 

BOOK: Circe by Madeline Miller.

Boulder Ridge Park doesn’t only 

have all the amenities of a perfect 

park, but it has incredible views

Nurture Nature 

Celebrate Earth Day 

by EMILY PETER-COREY 

Earth Day is celebrated annually on April 22, but it’s much more than a one-day event; it 

encourages a mindset that should last year-round. It can be overwhelming to learn about our 

harm on the environment and change habits, but an easy place to start is with the ethos of 

reduce, reuse, recycle. 

The first Earth Day was created in 1970 by Senator 

Gaylord Nelson to force Congress to address 

the environmental issues Earth was facing. 

Twenty million Americans participated in the 

first celebration by taking a stand against environmental 

ignorance and demanding change for our planet. By 

December of 1970, Congress authorized a new federal agency, 

the United States Environmental Protection Agency, aimed to 

address environmental issues. Over the past 51 years, since 

the first Earth Day, environmental changes include planting 

hundreds of millions of trees, providing environmental 

education cleaning up plastic pollution, and much more. Join 

over one billion participants and take action this Earth Day. 

There are countless ways to reduce environmental 

harm in your everyday life. From reducing plastic use 

and meat consumption to picking up trash on walks 

and requesting paperless billing, small steps made by 

everyone can create a huge impact on our planet.

Eco-Friendly Tips 

• Reduce paper towel consumption 

by using kitchen towels and 

washcloths to clean up messes. 

• Trade plastic baggies for reusable 

silicone ones or beeswax wraps. 

• Avoid single-use products and invest 

in reusable ones: totes, straws, water 

bottles, food storage containers. 

• Reduce food waste by having an 

“Eat Me First” food bin front and 

center, and freeze what you can 

before it goes bad for future use. 

• Turn off lights when you leave a room. 

• Take shorter showers. And keep 

a bucket in the shower to collect 

water while it warms up; use 

that to water your plants. 

• Create your own all-purpose cleaner 

be soaking citrus peels in vinegar. 

• Line-dry your clothes. 

• DIY confetti by hole-punching leaves. 

• Follow @wastefreesac on Instagram 

for localized tips on where and how 

to recycle, eco-friendly services, 

sustainable shopping, and more. 

• Plant a tree! Visit the Sacramento Tree 

Foundation (sactree.com) for tips. 

• Opening this spring, Village General 

Store in Roseville will offer a BYO 

container refillery (you can also 

purchase containers at the shop) 

for household staples like spices, 

pasta, beans, and cooking oils, plus 

bath and body essentials, cleaning 

products, pet care, and more. 

• Recycle this magazine or use 

it for craft projects. Scour 

Pinterest for ideas! 

• Buy local food to reduce the distance 

from farm to fork. (Better yet, plant 

your own garden and share the 

crop with your neighbors!) A few 

local farmers’ markets include… 

HISTORIC FOLSOM FARMERS’ 

MARKET, 915 Sutter Street, Folsom, 

historicfolsom.org/farmers-market;

SACRAMENTO was still in the 

planning process of their annual 

SACRAMENTO EARTH DAY event. 

Visit their website and Facebook 

page for updates. ecosacramento.net; 

facebook.com/sacramentoearthday 

COVID-19 has continued to pause 

in-person events, so create your own 

celebration at home! Start with making 

your coffee from the comfort of your 

kitchen or asking your favorite local 

café to use your own reusable mug. 

If possible, bike or walk to work and 

reduce car pollution throughout the 

day. Prepare plant-based meals and 

utilize your reusable water bottle. Take 

a walk to simply enjoy what Mother 

Nature has to offer…and pick up some 

trash along the way if you can. Lastly, 

research and invest in more ways to 

create an eco-friendlier footprint and 

help the environment. In no time, this 

“celebration” will become second nature 

and our planet will thank you for it. 

Let us know how you plan to help the 

environment! Email info@stylemg.com.

As parents, the coronavirus has thrown us, 

and our kiddos, a complete curveball—bringing 

up all sorts of emotions and wreaking havoc 

on our mental health. Luckily, there are ways 

to help little ones cope while keeping your 

own cool, too. Here are some tips to help 

guide families through these uncertain times. 

1 Keep calm. Children don't 

always have the words to express 

what’s going on with them. When they 

get upset, it’s tempting to get distraught 

as well, but what they need most is for 

us to help calm them down. Talk about 

what they might be thinking and 

feeling, then help them label the 

emotion. Offer validation and empathy 

and teach them what to do with their 

emotions. Often when it's named and 

heard, it will diminish rather quickly.—

Take care of you. Apologize if 

you need to and maintain good 

self-care. Remember: You’re a model for 

your children, and they look to you on 

how to handle things. If you continue to 

take care of yourself, you’ll be a more 

positive parent, have energy, and be more 

patient with your children. It's important 

to have the strength to continue to set 

boundaries and provide structure for 

your family. As the airlines say, "Put your 

own mask on before attempting to help 

your children."—Nancy Ryan, MA, LMFT, 

CEO, therelationshiptherapycenter.com 

8 

Have fun as a family. Many of 

the ways we normally play with our 

kids aren’t on the table right now, but 

they haven’t stopped having fun. This is 

the time to get into that Roblox game or 

other activity that your little one won't 

stop talking about. Follow their lead and 

see where it goes.—Lauren Simas, MA, 

LMFT, brillacounseling.com 

2 

Dream big. Make a bucket list as 

a family of the places you want to 

visit, things you want to do, and foods 

you want to eat when the world opens 

back up. Get specific about details and 

put it down on paper. Break out the 

crayons, art supplies, or whatever you 

have on hand. Keep your list on the fridge 

to keep the dream alive.—Lauren Simas, 

MA, LMFT, brillacounseling.com 

3 

Remember that this too 

shall pass. Adjust your 

expectations of yourself and your 

children in terms of productivity, 

patience, and poise. This pandemic is 

wreaking havoc on our kids’ sense of 

their place in the world—remind them 

that this is temporary.—Janette Robinson, 

MA, LMFT, janetterobinsonmft.com 

4 

Movement matters. It’s hard 

enough for adults to sit on Zoom for 

hours at a time, let alone children who 

are used to activity and in-person 

classroom interaction. Encourage your 

kiddos to move and stretch between 

online activities, so they can sit again and 

focus. If you can make something a 

game, they’re much more willing to 

comply. For example, how many times 

can they run up and down the stairs in 

one minute?—Nancy Ryan, MA, LMFT, 

CEO, therelationshiptherapycenter.com 

5 

Make new memories. Kids 

have missed out on so many crucial 

milestones over the past year, but just 

because crowd sizes are capped doesn't 

mean you can’t celebrate big. Find 

creative ways to make things special, like 

throwing a superhero birthday party just 

for your household.—Lauren Simas, MA, 

LMFT, brillacounseling.com 

6 

Keep things predictable. Set 

and maintain daily and weekly 

schedules as much as possible, focusing 

on rhythm when feasible instead of strict 

timetables (to keep stress in check).— 

Janette Robinson, MA, LMFT, 

janetterobinsonmft.com 

9 

Stay social. Connecting with 

others and having fun are highly 

effective ways of decreasing sadness and 

anxiety, which for many kids (and adults) 

can be amplified during this extended 

period of isolation. Carve out time for 

outdoor play, family board games, 

regular calls with relatives and friends, 

socially distanced playdates, and even 

online video games to keep little ones 

linked to family members and the larger 

world.—Janette Robinson, MA, LMFT,

Take a Hike 

Stevens 

Trail 

by RYAN MARTINEZ 

LOCATED IN: Colfax. 

DISTANCE: 7.7 miles out-and-back. 

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Moderate. 

KNOW BEFORE YOU GO: This is a 

long trail with little shade, so bring 

plenty of water. Expect rocky and 

wet conditions with a super steep 

finish; not recommended for kids. Make 

sure you don’t leave valuables in the car, as there 

have been some reports of break-ins. 

FUEL UP: Enjoy classic American comfort food 

(think burgers, scrambles, melts, and more), hot 

coffee, cocktails, mimosas, or all of the above

Lizzie Stephens, @misslizzieizzie 


at Dine n Dash Pub & Grill 

(dinendashpubandgrill.com). 

With an inviting ambiance, superb 

service, and hearty grub, you’ll be 

ready for a day of adventure. 

WHY WE LOVE IT: This trail has 

beautiful views, waterfalls, and a rich 

history. Long with a strenuous finish, it’s a 

perfect spring hike and will help prepare you for 

longer summer treks. 

TRAIL NOTES: Bring shoes with traction. Dog-friendly, 

but they must be leashed. Practice Leave No Trace 

ethics and enjoy the views! 

BEST PRACTICES: 

BEFORE & AFTER 

What you do both before 

and after your hike is 

the difference between 

a positive experience 

versus asking yourself, 

“Why did I think this 

would be fun?”. 

Here are a few 

considerations: 

BEFORE YOUR HIKE 

Nourish your body. Good 

nutrition is key; proper 

hydration is paramount. 

Hydrate early and often. 

Choose the right clothing. Bring 

enough layers, plan for weather, 

and choose the right shoes. 

Let someone know where 

you’re going. Being lost on a 

trail is never fun; being lost, 

cold, hungry, and scared 

because no one knows 

where you are is even worse. 

AFTER YOUR HIKE 

Stretch. Do some light yoga 

or some simple stretches to 

help you recover and improve 

mobility. 

Eat right. Eat protein soon 

after your hike to help rebuild 

muscles and speed up recovery. 

Learn from your experience. 

Things don’t always go 

according to plan; see where 

you can improve for next time.

Q: CAN I LEARN TO DANCE IF I 

DON'T HAVE A PARTNER? 

A: Absolutely! When you come into a 

studio on your own, the teacher is able 

to focus solely on you and you’re able 

to get an immediate feel for the proper 

form and technique of the dance; plus, 

the cues from an instructor are super 

clear, making it easy to lead or follow. 

Ultimately, you’re able to learn a lot faster 

working one-on-one with a teacher. So, 

whether you have a partner or not, your 

feet are in good hands!

Q: WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF 

SHOPPING CONSIGNMENT? 

A: Consignment shopping is perfect for 

those who want high-quality, budgetfriendly 

items in an easy-to-navigate 

space. It’s also perfect if you like a variety 

of styles but don’t have tons of time to go 

shopping, since you’ll find all the brands 

at malls, boutiques, and high-end stores 

in one place. I must admit, it will ruin you 

for shopping retail, because you’ll get used 

to paying much less for great stuff! What’s 

more, the environment greatly benefits 

when items are reused and consumers 

don't buy brand new clothing and/or 

accessories.

Handy Gardening Hacks 


Nothing beats the taste of fresh-fromthe-vine 

tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and 

pungent peppers…especially when you pick the produce from your very own backyard. 

Luckily, gardening is a skill that all ages, and abilities, can master. Follow these tips and 

tricks—courtesy of Green Acres Nursery & Supply, Soil Born Farms, El Dorado Nursery, and 

High Hand Nursery—and you’ll be diving into a fresh summer salad in mere months. 

RAISE IT UP. Raised beds are an 

ideal option for growing edible 

plants. They offer convenience 

and comfort—you can tend to 

your garden with less bending 

over or sitting on the ground— 

and allow for more control 

over the soil and amendments. 

What’s more, soil in a raised 

bed is typically warmer earlier 

in the season, which will give 

you a jump-start on your 

summer garden. 

VERY VERTICAL. Make the most 

of your vertical space by 

incorporating vining veggies— 

cucumbers, beans, and even 

cantaloupes—that can be 

trained on a trellis. 

On April 20, Soil 

Born Farms is offering a 

virtual “Ask a Farmer: Growing 

Tomatoes” class from 7-8:30 p.m. 

Beginner and seasoned gardeners alike 

will benefit by learning tricks of the trade 

to create and maintain a thriving harvest, 

followed by a Q&A session.

BE WATER WISE. How often and how 

much you water depends on the climate, 

soil, and your garden’s sun exposure. 

Vegetable plants want consistently moist 

(not soggy) soil, so water low and slow. 

Test your method, then stick with it, 

increasing as the weather warms. 

FROM THE GROUND UP. As you prepare 

your garden, remember to take care 

of the soil. Adding a good quality 

compost mixed with G&B Organics 

Planting Mix or using worm castings 

(an organic form of fertilizer produced 

from earthworms) will add nutrition, 

refresh tired soil, and make a world of 

difference in your harvest. 

SEEDS HAVE NEEDS. If you start your 

garden from seeds, be sure to space 

them based upon how big the plant will 

get and at the right depth (just below the 

surface for small seeds and 1-1.5 inches 

below soil surface for medium to large 

seeds). Don't overcrowd them or your 

adult plants will be unhealthy. 

MULCH MATTERS. Your stone fruit trees 

may be dormant now, but soon enough 

they’ll be pushing buds and preparing

to fruit. Give them what they need now 

with a good helping of compost around 

the base of the tree and a layer of mulch 

to retain moisture as the weather warms 

up. Hint: Be sure to keep mulch at least 

two inches away from the tree trunk to 

protect it from mold and disease. 

BORAGE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. The bright 

blue flowers of borage (an edible, fastgrowing, 

and attractive annual herb) 

discourage tomato hornworms and 

other damaging insects while bringing 

in bees and additional pollinators— 

making it both a deterrent and 

attractant. Plant it in between tomato 

plants, as well as squash, cucumbers, and 

other flowering, fruiting plants. 

TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Though warmseason 

veggies are available now, you 

should wait until the soil warms to 55ºF 

to plant them—normally mid-April to the 

beginning of May. If the soil is too cold to 

sit on comfortably bare-cheeked, it’s too 

cold for your plants. 

PUT DOWN ROOTS. If your tomato plants are 

leggy or floppy, remove the lower leaves 

and plant them deeper. They’ll push roots 

from the stem, which makes for a strong, 

bushy plant.

30 + Outdoor Escapes 

By Nelly Kislyanka & Tara Mendanha 

We live in an outdoor paradise. Lakes, mountains, rivers, and wonderful weather means 

every alfresco activity—from birdwatching to hiking, biking, and hot air ballooning—is 

within reach. This spring, soak in some fresh air and explore more.

WINE & DINE 

Wineries are taking outdoor dining to grand new heights, 

with breathtaking views, fantastic pours, and indulgent 

bites. Check out Lincoln’s Wise Villa Winery (wisevillawinery. 

com)—the only winery in Placer County with a full-service 

Tuscan-style bistro—and dig into flatbread or filet mignon 

while basking in gorgeous sunsets and views of rolling hills. 

Chateau Davell Boutique Winery (chateaudavell.com) in 

Camino currently offers a charcuterie box to pair with their 

wines while you sit out on the terrace. One of the newer 

wineries on the block is Myka Cellars (mykacellars.com), 

which—in addition to sustainable, craft wine—also serves a 

mouthwatering menu full of sandwiches, salads, and more 

(all made with locally grown ingredients from nearby farms). 

GO FOR GOLD 

It’s never too late to get in on the Gold Rush action. Go back to where it all began at Marshall Gold 

Discovery State Historic Park (marshallgold.com) in Coloma. Sift through the same sands as the fortyniners 

while basking in the history and the beauty of the area. Gold Bug Park & Mine (goldbugpark.org) 

in Placerville allows for gem panning (when open) and while it’s not technically outdoors, the mine is a

Right: Marshall Gold 

Discovery State Historic Park 


treat to explore. Take it up a notch and plan a 

panning vacation at Bear River Campground 

(placer.ca.gov/5951/bear-river-campground) in 

Colfax where there’s more gold to be found. 

SHOOT FOR THE STARS 

Warmer weather and clearer skies make for 

perfect conditions to spot constellations 

and crescents. Join the Sacramento Valley 

Astronomical Society (svas.org) in Roseville 

for monthly star parties (once they resume) or 

check out their calendar for nightly sightings. 

Then, head to Salmon Falls Bridge in El Dorado 

Hills or Foresthill Bridge in Auburn for some 

stellar views. The Community Observatory 

in Placerville (communityobservatory.com) is 

also a great place to study the night sky on 

weekends. Catch a glimpse of major stars, 

planets, galaxies, nebulae, and the moon 

with heavy-duty telescopes during their 

“star tours.” You can also join them for “Solar 

Saturday” to sneak a close and safe peak at 

our closest star. 

OH SNAP! 

While you’re out and about how about trying 

your hand at some outdoor photography? 

Whether you’re capturing the sunset or 

having an impromptu shoot for your kids or 

canine, pick up some equipment at Action 

Camera (actioncamera.com) in Roseville and 

head to any of the numerous jaunts local 

photographers love: Miners Ravine Trail in 

Roseville (well-maintained path that passes 

by several parks and features a stream, 

woodlands, large boulders), Johnny Cash 

Trail in Folsom (especially the bridge), Willow 

Creek Recreation Area in Folsom (many paths 

and trees, a little bridge, island of rocks, tree 

logs, boat dock), Beal’s Point at Folsom Lake 

(fantastic sunset lighting, sandy hills, views of 

the lake), Salmon Falls Bridge in El Dorado Hills 

(flower fields, bridges, streams, hills, rocks), 

or Negro Bar in Folsom (boat dock, views 

of the iconic Rainbow Bridge, cliffs in the 

background). 

GO WILD...AT THE ZOO! 

What is the great outdoors without some 

animal action? Meet and greet with local 

animal celebrities at the Folsom Zoo between 

10 a.m. and 4 p.m., Friday through Sunday. 

Admission requires advance online ticket 

purchase (none sold at the gate) and can 

be purchased at webtrac.folsom.ca.us. Find 

an assortment of reptiles, felines, canines, 

birds, primates, and more. If you’d like the zoo 

to come to you, Hawks Ranch Petting Zoo 

(hawksranchpettingzoo.com) in Loomis has a 

mobile petting zoo, filled with goats, miniature 

horses, alpacas, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and 

even a miniature pig and donkey!

GO FISH 

Did you know Folsom Lake has produced trophy-sized bass over 

10 pounds? Or that it also holds rainbow trout, catfish, kokanee 

salmon, and bluegill? Try your luck and get in on the angler action 

at New York Creek, Deep Ravine Cove, Folsom Point, or Beal’s 

Point. An accessible fishing pier is also available on Lake Natoma 

at the Nimbus Flat park entrance, or you can check out “From 

the Depths” (fromthedepthsfishing.com) a local club that’s open 

to the public. But before you get hooked, don’t forget to obtain a 

California Fishing License at wildlife.ca.gov/fishing. 

PICNIC IN THE PARK 

Johnson-Springview Park 

The easiest and most fun thing to do outside is have a picnic. 

Luckily, we’re spoiled for choice when it comes to perfect picnic 

spots. Choose from Promontory Park in El Dorado Hills (covered 

play and picnic area, plus water features), Livermore Community 

Park in Folsom (covered picnic area, BBQ pits, baseball diamond, 

water features), Kalithea Park in El Dorado Hills (views of the lake 

and mountains, covered picnic area, baseball diamond), Folsom 

Kids Play Park (shady trees, covered picnic area, separate play 

areas for older and younger kids, castle-like play structure), Maidu 

Regional Park in Roseville (ample fields, picnic space, access to the 

Maidu Museum and Library), Johnson-Springview Park in Rocklin 

(shaded picnic areas, BBQ pits), Royer Park in Roseville (ample 

picnic space, parks for older and younger kids, creek nearby, 

courts, horseshoe pit), Lions Park in Placerville (covered picnic 

areas, BBQ pit, sport courts, parks for older and younger kids, disc 

golf course) or Whitney Park in Rocklin (grassy areas, water feature, 

play areas for older and younger kids, covered BBQ). 

WALK THE “ MAIN ” STREETS 

A stroll through our historic downtowns is a nice way to 

spend the day. Placerville’s Historic Main Street brings 

the Gold Rush charm with its antique shops, used 

bookstore, candy shop, and the oldest hardware store 

West of the Mississippi. The Folsom Historic District 

is home to the public plaza and amphitheater, history 

museum, and Sutter Street Theatre, aside from boutique 

stores, stylish salons, art galleries, and some great 

restaurants offering outdoor dining. Downtown Roseville’s 

charming Vernon Street is a must-see destination. Its 

town square is great for picnicking and the street itself 

now has decking built on the sidewalks to accommodate 

outdoor dining. Take a walk past the World War II 

memorial, telephone museum, steam engine no. 2252 

monument, and Mini Mural Competition. 

CHASE WATERFALLS 

Waterfalls abound this time of the year. With overgrown 

flora and gushing fresh waters, these falls also boast 

beautiful trails: Sly Park waterfall in Pollock Pines is 33 

feet high at the northeast part of Jenkinson Lake; Hidden 

Falls Regional Park in Auburn has a 30-foot waterfall and 

over 30 miles of trails; Dutch Creek Falls in Garden Valley 

has a rugged path to scenic twin waterfalls; Black Hole 

of Calcutta Falls in Auburn is a 40-foot fall at the end of 

an easy, quick hike over a wooden footbridge; and Bridal 

Veil Falls in Pollock Pines is an 80-foot seasonal, drive-to 

beauty off Highway 50. 

Black Hole of Calcutta Falls 


Boarding on the Lake 

HORSE AROUND 

Explore the outdoors on the backs of these gentle creatures 

and see the world from a whole new perspective. Boarding 

on the Lake (boardingonthelake.com) in Granite Bay offers 

rides along Folsom Lake trails, through wooded forests 

and along the beach, while Shadow Glen Riding Stables 

(shadowglenstables.com) in Fair Oaks offers western trail 

rides along the American River at Lake Natoma. 

EAT YOUR VEGGIES 

The best part about living in one of the nation’s top 

agricultural-producing states? A farmers’ market is at 

your fingertips just about every day of the 

week. Spend a crisp Saturday morning 

strolling through the 70+ vendor booths 

at the Historic Folsom 

Farmers Market 

(bemoneysmartusa. 

org/historicfolsom), 

pick up a bouquet of 

fresh blooms at one 

of the PlacerGROWN 

farmers’ markets 

(placergrown.org) in 

Auburn or Roseville, or 

grab just-picked produce 

at one of El Dorado County’s 

myriad markets starting in June 

PlacerGROWN (eldoradofarmersmarket.com). 

ROW YOUR BOAT 

Are the rivers and lakes calling your name? Whether it’s a relaxing 

kayak trip or an adrenaline-filled rafting trip, these places have you 

covered for all your gear. American River Raft Rentals (raftrentals. 

com) allows for self-guided raft trips on the lower American River. 

Rent 4-12 person rafts, paddleboards, and 1-2 person kayaks. 

Adventure Sports Rentals (adventuresports.rentals) offers regular 

and pedal kayaks and stand-up paddleboards to use at Lake 

Natoma. Sac State Aquatic Center (sacstateaquaticcenter.com) 

offers kayaks, paddleboards, and canoes for a serene trip on Lake 

Natoma. Rafting at the South Fork of the American River starts 

this month and goes until September. Visit coloma.com/recreation/ 

whitewater-rafting for a list of outfitters.

American River Parkway 

Nerd Out On Birds 

Over 350 bird species follow the Pacific Flyway from Bering Strait to 

South America, flying over California State Parks along the way, and 

spring migration brings more than a billion birds back into California. 

Folsom Lake, Lake Natoma, anywhere along the American River 

Parkway, Cosumnes River Preserve, Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, Bass 

Lake Regional Park, and Effie Yeaw Nature Center house some of 

nature’s winged wonders—from different types of sapsuckers and 

woodpeckers to turkey vultures and owls. The El Dorado Audubon 

(eldoradoaudubon.org) and the Sacramento Audubon Society 

(sacramentoaudubon.org) offer resources on birds that populate our 

area, and where and when to find them. If you’d rather bring the birds 

to your backyard, head to Wild Birds Unlimited (roseville.wbu.com) or 

The Bird Shop (thebirdshoponline.com) in Roseville for supplies that’ll 

have them flocking to your neck of the woods.

Ballooning Adventures (yoloballooningadventures.

and enjoy picture-perfect views of the Sierra 

Nevada; or make a weekend of your adventure 

with Balloons Above the Valley (balloonrides.com) 

in Napa (we recommend their “Voyage Above 

the Valley” package where you’ll enjoy first-rate 

accommodations, morning refreshments, and 

complimentary photos).

There’s a reason Sacramento has been named 

the Farm-to-Fork Capital of the nation. Pound

Thirsty for adventure? Discover new watering 

holes with friends and family on the Sac Brew Bike 

(sacbrewbike.com) where you’ll pedal through 

scenic Sac stopping at the best local, and 

locally owned, bars. 

WORK IT OUT, OUTSIDE 

Keep those quarantine pounds at bay (and 

take advantage of April’s cool weather) 

with outdoor workouts. Jazzercise Folsom 

(jazzercise.com) is holding classes on the 

patio at Hawkins School of Performing 

Arts—blue skies only make these upbeat 

classes better. For the mamas struggling to 

carve out some kid-free time to exercise, 

FIT4MOM Folsom Lake (folsomlake.fit4mom. 

com) is partnering with the El Dorado 

Community Services District to offer a 

“Stroller Strides” class. Get in some outdoor 

full-body conditioning while the kiddos stay 

entertained with bubbles and songs. 

HIT THE LINKS 

There’s nothing like a round of golf to help 

you unwind and recenter. Quiet, interrupted 

only by the satisfying thwack of a club 

meeting the ball, and walking lush lawns is 

as much the fun of golf as competing against 

friends. Granite Bay Golf Club (clubcorp. 

com/clubs/granite-bay-golf-club) delivers 

the complete package experience—scenic 

fairways surrounded by oaks and wetlands, a 

challenging course to satisfy your competitive 

streak, and a beautiful patio (as well as a 

top-notch kitchen) to toast your win. If you’re 

looking to sharpen your swing, head to the 

driving range at Haggin Oaks Golf Complex 

(hagginoaks.com) in Sacramento.

Lover’s Leap 

Auburn State Recreation Area 

VISIT THE NEAREST STATE PARK 

The Auburn State Recreation Area is a local favorite because it offers 

access to an abundance of outdoor activities like fishing, boating, 

mountain biking, and camping. Hike the Lake Clementine Trail to the 

scenic dam overlook. The waterfall-like runoff, with its roaring waters 

and bracing mist, is a great photo-op. You’ll also get a stellar bridge 

shot as the trail winds underneath the famed Foresthill Bridge (as 

seen in rom-com The Ugly Truth and a daring action scene from XXX). 

For state park details, visit parks.ca.gov; for trail information, visit 

alltrails.com.

ROCK (CLIMB) & ROLL 

Don’t know how to get started with rock climbing? REI Co-op (rei.com/ 

events) in Folsom takes first-timers out to Auburn for an introductory 

course. The best part is the reasonably priced adventure includes 

the necessary gear. For the experienced climber, REI’s Classic Rock 

Climbing Tour offers the chance to sharpen technique and build 

community. Or take the entire family climbing at Quarry Park Adventures 

(quarrypark.com) in Rocklin where you can scale natural granite walls, 

repel down a 60-foot drop, or challenge yourself with their Via Ferrata 

experience—a series of swinging bridges and climbing challenges. Also 

in aptly named Rocklin is Lover’s Leap—“the leap” being one of the best 

local spots if you’re looking for a more advanced adventure. 

Granny May’s Strawberry Farm 

GET PICKING 

Apple Hill has a slew of 

u-pick farms with fruit 

and veg that’s ripe for the 

picking come summer, 

like Patrick’s Berry Farm, 

Rainbow Orchards, 

Goodness Orchard, Sloan 

Winter Mountain Orchard, 

Harris Family Farm, and 

24Carrot Farm. Visit 

applehill.com and click on 

“Your Visit; You Pick Farms” 

for details. Spring is berrypicking 

time and Granny 

May’s Strawberry Farm 

(grannymaysstrawberries.

u-pick strawberries in 

May and blackberries in 

June. If you’re looking 

for a more immersive 

experience, Sloughhouse 

U-Pick at Davis Ranch 

(davisranchproduce. 

com) offers cucumbers, 

peppers, squash, eggplant, 

and more for you to 

harvest yourself and 

purchase. 


GO FLOWER SPOTTING 

Start gathering ideas for this year’s garden by visiting 

Sherwood Demonstration Garden (mgeldorado.ucanr.edu/ 

demonstration_garden) in Placerville. As you stroll through 

16 individual gardens, pay attention to the plant labels 

for water-use information; they’ll help you decide what 

flower variety might be the right choice for your space. 

Then check out what’s in bloom at Amador Flower Farm & 

Nursery (amadorflowerfarm.com) in Plymouth. With 14 acres 

to discover, a day here is the perfect alfresco diversion. 

Just don’t forget to glean a few tips from 

nursery staff so you can revel in your own 

garden this year! 

HAVE A “ BOARD ” MEETING 

The first signs of spring always give 

us a hankering for the water. Stand-up 

paddle boarding gets you on our region’s 

rivers and lakes; plus, the boards have 

enough room to bring your pup, too! 

Start by picking one up at SUP California 

(supcalifornia.com) in Folsom. Once you’re 

all geared up, head to one of the many 

Folsom Lake access points—Willow Creek 

Boat Launch, Folsom Point, Beal’s Point, or 

Negro Bar, to name a few. To take paddle 

boarding up a notch, try yoga on the 

water with SUP DOG Paddle Board Yoga 

(spotteddogyoga.com/supyoga.php) or Full 

Circle Yoga & SUP (fullcircleyogasup.com). 

GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE 

Help your community by getting outside and making a difference. Download 

the Charity Miles app (charitymiles.org), choose a route from the recommended 

paved trails, and get moving! For every mile logged, a corporate sponsor donates 

to the charity of your choice. If you’d rather use your hands, El Dorado County 

Habitat for Humanity (edchabitat.org) can use some help with their Brush with 

Kindness program where you’ll provide exterior home repair and maintenance, like 

painting, landscaping, and replacing doors to benefit low-income households in 

homeownership. We can’t forget our four-legged friends who need some love at the 

Placer SPCA (placerspca.org)—sign up as a volunteer and take a pup for a walk. 

If we could see the 

miracle of a single 

flower clearly 

our whole life would 

change. 

” 

“ 

—Buddha 

BLAZE A TRAIL 

A perk of our region is the plethora of paved 

trails. Whether you prefer a walk, run, or 

bike ride, Folsom’s 59 miles of trails offer 

you endless routes. One of our favorite 

biking adventures starts with picking up 

a rental at Folsom Bike (folsombike.com) 

followed by soaking in lake views as you 

begin your route on the Folsom Lake Trail. 

Hook onto the Johnny Cash Trail and 

stop for a bite on Sutter Street before 

heading back. If a jog is more your speed, 

the Humbug Willow Creek Trail meanders 

through scenic open space corridors. Other 

paved paths to check out? Miners Ravine 

Trail (8.4-mile heavily trafficked out-andback 

route in Roseville) and the El Dorado 

Trail (7.9-mile moderately trafficked outand-back 

route near Diamond Springs).

the opportunity for one-on-one interaction with highly trained 

instructors, so each student receives personal attention and 

maximum benefit. Steve Wallen Swim School started modestly in 

Steve Wallen's backyard pool and has grown into one of the most 

popular and respected swim schools in the area. We now offer 

two state-of-the-art indoor, heated facilities in El Dorado Hills and 

Roseville. 

Contact us today about our baby and me, private, semi-private, 

or group swim lessons as well as our underwater video analysis 

classes for more advanced swimmers.

Dining Out 

Main Street 

Tap House 

BY LORN RANDALL // PHOTOS BY DANTE FONTANA 

Korean Pork Street Tacos 

“ 

Location, location, location.” I’ve heard it said a million times in regards 

to the potential success of a restaurant. If that’s the case, then Main Street 

Tap House in Downtown Placerville can look forward to a healthy 2021, 

and beyond—they have location in spades. Sited just off Highway 50 on 

Main Street, you literally can’t miss it. 

The eatery has something else in spades that visitors will appreciate— 


“THE KOREAN PORK 

STREET TACOS WERE 

MY FAVORITE DISH 

OF THE DAY; THE 

SRIRACHA BARBECUE 

SAUCE WASN’T 

OVERPOWERING, AND 

THE COMBO OF PORK 

AND PINEAPPLE 

SALSA WAS AKIN TO 

AL PASTOR.”

Baby Back Ribs 

Mexicano Flatbread 

Berry Shortcake 

their parking lot—as spots can be a precious commodity in the historic hamlet’s 

downtown district. They also have a beautiful open bar that will soon be serving 

patrons their favorite libations (after Covid-19 restrictions are lifted). In the 

meantime, there are high-top tables in front of the bar, abundant indoor seating 

options, and a spacious patio area. 

I stopped in for lunch on a 

Louisiana Shrimp Dip sunny winter day to sample the 

fare and gaze longingly at the 

brew and cocktail menu (alas, 

no designated driver). I asked my 

server for their recommendations 

and was told to start with the 

Louisiana shrimp dip. The cheesy 

amalgamation came scorching hot 

in a cast iron pan with those “tricolor 

tortilla chips” made popular 

in the ’90s. The dip itself was tangy 

(pickled jalapeños?), cheesy, and 

beloved by my friend and fellow 

dining partner. 

Next on the list: Mexicano 

flatbread with chorizo, steak, 

jalapeño crema, pickled jalapeños, 

onions, olives, tomatoes, and jack 

cheese. The verdict? A generously 

portioned fiesta de sabor (flavor party), 

including a kick from the capsicum, that 

would be plenty as an entrée or shareable 

appetizer. 

I took a chance on my server’s next 

suggestion of baby back ribs in honey 

sriracha barbecue sauce. I review a lot of 

BBQ and a lot of ribs, and I also review actual 

barbecues and smokers, so I have some 

opinions. This rendition was wonderfully 

meaty and plated nicely, though they would 

have benefitted from a low and slow cook (my 

preference). The fries and cilantro-fennel slaw 

served alongside it were superb, however. 

The Korean pork street tacos were my 

favorite dish of the day; the sriracha barbecue 

sauce wasn’t overpowering, and the combo 

of pork and pineapple salsa was akin to al pastor. They came three to an order, 

which was enough to share. 

If you’re looking to cure a post-meal sweet tooth, their rotating cake selection 

(like the berry shortcake with freshly whipped cream) can't be missed. 

Stop in for one of their 20-plus beers on tap (many brewed locally) and a bite 

to eat, and bring your friends!

A Part Café // Seldom do I go someplace new and immediately become a fan. It happens, but it’s not 

the norm. A Part Café on Roseville’s Vernon Street is one of those places. They took on Covid-19 and all its 

restrictions to open in late Summer 2020, and the reviews have been outstanding. They’re most well-known 

for their shwacos and pocket pies—the former being a portmanteau for shawarma (a Middle Easternstyle 

of spit-cooked meat, usually served on pita bread) and the ubiquitous Mexican/American taco. The 

meats are rubbed in APC’s special shawarma spices, then smoked in applewood, and the results are like no 

taco you’ve ever had. Their mint barbecue sauce (za’atar), cumin/yogurt/white sauce, and Thai pepper shatta 

are all made in-house and add depth to the one-of-a-kind creations. Shwacos come in lamb, chicken, beef, 

or vegetarian (stewed fava beans or smoked portobello mushrooms) on a pitatilla (fluffy flatbread) topped 

with herbs and pickled onions. The pocket pies remind me of when I used to work next door to a piroshki 

(meat-filled, deep-fried hand-pies from Russia) shop, except these are baked in a flaky crust, not deep-fried. 

Pocket pies come in spinach and cheese, shakshouka (spicy stewed tomato and egg) and cheese, and beef 

with tahini. The café has many other specialty goodies, too, plus full plates of their popular items, “Family 

Shwaco Meal Kits,” sweet treats (the tahini chocolate chip cookie can’t be missed), and nitrogeninfused 

mocktails…truly setting them apart from the region’s other restaurants. 217 Vernon Street, Roseville,

Where We Live 

DID YOU KNOW? 

Traylor Ranch Nature 

Reserve and Bird Sanctuary 

(pictured) is a 90-acre, 

kid-friendly park in Penryn 

that’s a perfect place to 

clear your mind and stretch 

your legs. Pack a lunch and 

avail of the picnic areas, 

then wind your way through 

the intersecting, easy-tonavigate 

trails while bird 

watching. Because this is a 

nature sanctuary, remember 

to leave the pups at home. 

Open 30 minutes before 

sunrise to 30 minutes after 

sunset.—Nelly Kislyanka 

"My family loves all the secret spots and outdoor hidden 

gems our region has to offer and is so appreciative of the 

people who take special care of them, ensuring the natural 

beauty is protected for generations to come."
