When I was a youngster living in “beautiful downtown Burbank,” I decorated my bedroom walls with prints of works by great art masters. Waking up to art and beauty made my days fresh and exciting. Art continues to be an important part of my life. Until I moved to Fallbrook about eight years ago, I had never considered painting; a class at the Fallbrook School of the Arts changed that. Art teaches us to see. Thank you to the Village News for your generous coverage of the noteworthy Growing Public Art annual fundraiser on Mar...

FALLBROOK - Sometimes gardeners appear to be senators on opposite sides of the aisle when deciding whether to endorse vegetable gardening or flower gardening. Each have very strong opinions as to why they have chosen one or the other. But in the spirit of bi-partisanship, why not do both in the same garden? If taking such a grand leap into the other party’s dogma is just a bit too scary, why not inch into it? If one is a vegetable gardener, it’s possible to create small arc...

Whether lawn care is a person’s passion or just something they do to maintain the value of a home, dead grass can be exasperating.

Grass often dies because of urine damage, w...
