Occidental Under new owners I will reopen to the public in May The pond and garden at the Western Hills Garden in Occidental was created by Marshall Olbrich and Lester Hawkins in the 1960s as a place renowned for rare plants Mary Zovich exchanges sprinkler head emitters with low water emitters in anticipation of a summer drought at Western Hills Garden in Occidental 2019 at Western Hills Garden in Occidental It’s an exciting time of anticipation and potential marked not just by the awakening plants and the lengthening days but by the sudden activity of birds and bees as temperatures shift from brisk to comfortably cool “Spring is like a loud shout — everything is alive and breathtaking,” says Dynak Western Hills was founded 60 years ago by Marshall Olbrich and Lester Hawkins obsessive plant collectors with a commitment to a form of naturalistic sustainable garden sensitive to California’s warm they created a nursery that drew horticulturists and plant collectors from around the world to this tucked-away neighborhood of west county The pair offered unusual specimens for sale including many at the time seen nowhere else in the commercial nursery trade Plant enthusiasts visited to swap seeds and talk ecology and world affairs with kindred spirits in what some describe as an informal outdoor salon of ideas Marshall and Lester — the garden’s fans refer to them in the familiar like old friends — had a gentle way with plants one which respected the tendency of plants and trees to grow half-wild and abundant The garden fits into no neat design style or theme beyond being a collector’s paradise of plants adapted to a Mediterranean climate including primeval ferns and trees prized for their remarkable maturity from an 84-foot-tall Japanese zelkova to a multi-stemmed Persian ironwood Some 35 bridges meander past the five ponds crossing back and forth over stone runnels channeling bubbling streams of water A large folly just inside the entrance was inspired by the great English garden designer Penelope Hobhouse Dynak and Strader often dreamed of someday owning a place where they could bring together different communities in partnership though the concept of a botanical garden never crossed their minds Dynak is a creative producer who previously worked in the arts in Berkeley and Park City the couple faced a crossroads in 2023 after putting their home up for sale When a friend called to suggest they check out a property in rural Sonoma and we were blown away by the beauty,” Strader says building upon decades of work not only by the garden’s founders Strader has fixed hundreds of feet of fencing and repaired many of the garden’s bridges he was cutting back a tangled thicket of undergrowth and unearthed a whole “new” path and viewing bench concealed in the branches — a moment of surprise that speaks to the dense wonders found here “We struggled a little early on,” says Strader We went back and forth a lot and ended up with the idea that Lester and Marshall never would have sat on what they had and kept it the same We’re trying to honor the history while keeping it progressing forward.” and pruned hundreds of shrubs and trees with the help of a dozen volunteers and a new manager of horticulture a former landscape architect with the National Park Service And thanks to the efforts of intern Kat Gritt who is studying arboriculture at Merritt College the team has inventoried 832 different trees representing some 300 species including a white eucalyptus that at 121 feet journaling workshops and celebrations to mark the change of the seasons focusing not just on horticulture but the arts A class in “bioeuphoria” by Berkeley artist Jessica Abbott Williams had participants using handmade plant inks and natural objects to mark tiny specific spots within the garden that captured their fascination down to the level of a single flower or branch Weekend visitors check in at a small kiosk and are asked how they’d like to see the garden: by taking in broad sweeps of the landscape or looking up close They’re offered magnifying glasses to take in new perspectives such as the tiny marvel of the texture of a leaf or an insect collecting pollen “It’s like a superorganism, with all these different individuals and species working together,” says Barthiaume, who appreciates how plants from Asia, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and the Middle East can all flourish cooperatively among the redwoods It’s a perfect metaphor for what Dynak and Strader are trying to create: a place where many different groups can connect and where all are invited to wander Owner Hadley Dynak of Western Hills Garden is floored by the bounty of spring on view in her 3-acre public garden in Occidental these sumptuous woodland plants bloom in a range of colors Dynak recommends keeping an eye out for a variety the docents call Marshall’s azalea It’s a sentimental favorite named for one of the garden’s founders Cheerful bursts of bright yellow flowers signal the coming sunshine and longer days The garden has a range of ferns that form a velvety green backdrop to other specimen plants in the garden spiral growths is “otherworldly and prehistoric,” says Dynak but one of Dynak’s favorites is the Himalayan strawberry tree which produces masses of creamy white flowers followed by round fruits that resemble strawberries the garden’s many varieties of magnolia begin their show in late winter But this particular one is a standout in early spring deep pink flowers that appear just as leaves are opening these lush favorites pop up throughout the garden Western Hills Garden is open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays and on weekdays by appointment. The garden will host several special events for spring that are open to the public, from mandala making to birding to composting classes. See the website for details.

The developer there is now asking Coalville to consider annexing the area in part because of a lack of sewer infrastructure Barnes believes it’s more logical for West Hills to annex into Kamas than become a separate town Developers who own some of West Hills’ land already asked Kamas for that offering 1,600 homes and the property tax revenue to boot West Hills’ town government may think differently but the incorporation route will require a vote Anderson must gather signatures to put the town on the next November ballot The signatories must account for at least 10% of all registered voters within the boundary and own at least 10% of the land and 7% of the land value Only residents within West Hills boundaries may vote on it The public hearing will be at South Summit Middle School Jan Click here to submit questions about West Hills for the second public hearing This small group workout is guaranteed to get your heart pumping and your body sweating The nonprofit's mission is to protect southern Summit County’s natural beauty and agricultural lifestyle, according to its website “We felt like there wasn't a way for residents to really get involved It feels like so many of these things are bigger than just one person,” Bristol told KPCW A lot of those residents live around West Hills a proposed town residents within its boundaries will vote on in November Supporters have said county zoning has stifled “modest new growth”; Kamas City has previously turned down a request to annex part of the area At the second and final public hearing about West Hills in January Bristol noted how the whole process brought together like-minded residents against development and even some of them have different ideas when we've had our board meetings and things that we've been talking about how to move forward,” he said in April KVPA is soliciting donations to build a legal fund that will “defend the Kamas Valley against unbridled development and ensure open Public records confirm KVPA incorporated as a nonprofit March 31 It says its 501(c)(3) application is pending with the Internal Revenue Service So those donations aren’t tax deductible until the IRS signs off Bristol declined to talk specifics but said the group of volunteers is forming an action plan on West Hills in weekly board meetings Dozens of Kamas Valley residents attended Monday night’s hearing and those who spoke ranged from skeptical to downright angry and opposed to West Hills The Salt Lake City real estate attorney owns land along state Route 248 “If you are so compassionate and you believe in this so much Anderson and his spokesperson did not return KPCW’s requests for comment Tuesday either The unanimous opposition struck Fred Philpot vice president for LRB Public Finance Advisors as different from other incorporation efforts LRB is a neutral party charged with determining if new Utah towns could balance their budgets using development numbers provided by town sponsors “I'll share an experience you may have seen in the news: the incorporation feasibility study associated with the Ogden Valley incorporation,” Philpot told the crowd at South Summit Middle School Jan “I'll highlight one element that was different there The town of Ogden Valley will incorporate the area between the Nordic Valley and Powder Mountain ski resorts in 2026. It enjoyed the support of six sponsors who’ve lived there as few as three years to as many as five generations Building Salt Lake reported Ogden Valley locals saw incorporation as a way to control growth and prevent becoming “like Park City” after the Weber County Commission greenlit denser mixed-use development In November, 68% of Ogden Valley voters approved the new town the rural part of Summit County between Kamas and the ski resorts hasn't had as much growth — most of the proposed West Hills area is zoned for one unit per 80 acres And Summit County’s top planning official has taken a firm stance against it Community Development Director Peter Barnes has said there are areas where the county believes denser development is appropriate With the second public hearing required by state law come and gone Now he’ll need signatures to put incorporation on the November ballot Only people registered to vote within the 3,600-acre area may vote on West Hills Philpot and analysts from LRB used hypothetical development numbers from Anderson that aren’t binding to calculate tax revenue They said West Hills could raise enough taxes to survive but if it builds even one government building That’s why Kamas City Councilmember David Darcey called the potential vote a “high trust transaction” Monday a vote on how confident West Hills residents would be in Anderson “It's obvious that the sponsors have an agenda about what they're giving in order to get what they want,” Jeramy Bristol of Spring Meadows said at the hearing “I've met with Derek personally in his office The map has changed multiple times since West Hills was first proposed in April 2023 Bristol’s property was left out of the final version and he thinks that’s because he and his kids would vote against it Barbara Tornoto wasn't happy her land north of state Route 248 was included in the final town boundary You missed that opportunity back in March,’ when I wasn't even part of this nightmare In a letter attached to LRB’s feasibility study call the town’s borders “obviously gerrymandered.” Barnes compared its shape to “somewhat arthritic fingers.” The county planning department has raised concerns about the lack of sewer and water in the area Engineer Devin Earl grew up in the area and lives in Francis He thought those costs would put West Hills’ tax balance in the red “If a $1.3 million [government] building put this project in the deficit by 26% I can guarantee you the cost of some of those capital improvement projects to put in the wastewater and water facilities that would be required for the density they are talking about would far LRB said those costs would be on the developer if the town doesn’t raise enough tax money from new homes and businesses and fails Summit County’s taxpayers are on the hook to continue providing services to what’s left Anderson has said the town would encourage “modest new growth.” Development would be clustered to preserve open space and area for grazing so people could maintain their greenbelt tax exemptions the sponsor must get signatures from at least 10% of all registered voters within the boundary The signatories must own at least 10% of the land and 7% of the land value You must enter the division of the highest-rated player. • Round Robin. • Games to 11 or 15 win by 2. • Franklin X-40 will be the tournament ball. • Medals will be awarded for the top three places in each division.
