“We grow food at home!”That’s Robin Mankey’s motto
and the mantra for the new class she’ll be offering for moms and
preschoolers beginning next week.The class, dubbed “Mother, Earth and Me,” will take
place in six home gardens in Palo Alto, Los Altos, Men-lo Park and Atherton. Mankey views the six gardens as a “roaming classroom,” with a different topic covered at each location.
“Everyone’s going to learn outside their boxes, so to speak — their gardens,” Mankey said.
Before beginning the class series, Mankey will make home visits to assess each garden to determine the space required to grow what the participant will want to eat.
“Two families already have raised beds. Some aren’t even there,” she said.
The first class will take place at Common Ground in Palo Alto so students can check out such necessities as tools, seedlings and compost.
Each week features a new topic: planning the garden, seed propagation, soil preparation, transplanting and spacing, composting, irrigation and troubleshooting.
Class series covers how to create an edible garden

Kern, a master gardener, horticultural
consultant and landscape contractor,

“During class we might have a chance to dig one garden, plant or transplant in another. I’m a Socratic learner. It’s going to be very hands on,” she said.
“There aren’t a lot of gardening classes available where you can bring kids,” Mankey said, adding that a lot of moms are home with kids and are interested in growing food for them.
“Two- to 5-year-olds love be-ing outside. Most kids love getting dirty. They love worms, bugs, but-terflies, birds. They’re just very en-gaged,” she said.
And their taste buds are curious. “They like eating flowers, lettuce. It’s a way for moms of preschool age to create a cohort of moms who love to grow food,” she said.
When discussing irrigation, Mankey said, the kids could play with extra parts that are like little LEGOs. “They can pretend to put (them) together.”
Mankey started growing food at home when her older daughter, who’s now 27, was 3 years old. At the time she was working as a corporate recruiter and executive search consultant, but she always grew food on the side, she said.
When her children were older, she volunteered for years at Hay-fields Farm in Portola Valley, as well as working and teaching in school gardens at Rooftop Elemen-tary School in San Francisco and John Gill School in Redwood City.
In 2003-5 she studied the Grow Biointensive© methods with John Jeavons of Ecology Action in Wil-lits, completing the teacher train-ing.
Three years ago she decided to work with families in their back-yards, helping them to install and maintain their gardens through her business, Take Root Now.
As for keeping small children en-gaged in the classes, Mankey has no worries. She’s built up a reper-toire of songs — think, “Inch by inch, row by row; going to watch my garden grow” by David Mal-lett — often featuring worms and spiders.
“I’m going to have dirt, water, seeds, worms,” she smiled.
And, of course, there will be snacks.
Mankey will help each partici-pant develop a plan for her indi-vidual garden.
A Crescent Park homeowner and mother of four has been working with Mankey to create her family’s edible garden since 2011.
“Robin’s just got a way with the earth. It’s really been a treat to work with her,” said the mom, who asked not to be identified due to privacy.
“Our youngest is our least picky eater,” she said, which she attri-butes to early exposure. “She loves nothing more than to come out here and pick her salad and eat it.”
Mankey, who calls herself an urban farmer, gets enormous plea-sure out of her second career and from encouraging children to grow food.
“The nature of a garden is it’s a
complete biological system and it’s always changing. It engages all the senses. I think we need that as a culture,” she said.
This first class series is limited to six families and is taught on a weekday morning. If it fills up, she may offer a second round in May. And, for parents with kids age 3 to 8, she’s just added a Saturday class beginning in April.

W ater is vital to our very ex-istence, and yet, it is a con-stant battle to try to plan
and create man-made solutions that counter nature’s ability to make water show up in the wrong place at the wrong time. For us locally, this problem is more prevalent in the winter months when we receive most of our rain for the year.
Recently, our church’s kitchen flooded yet again. The building is tucked up against a steep hill that is becoming more and more saturated with moisture each year, not only from heavier rainfall than when it was built 50 years ago but also from excess water accumulating from the neighbors’ elevated backyards that sit behind the building. The original drainage system for the church build-ing is woefully inadequate to handle the amount of water that comes from surface drainage as well as hydro-static pressure from saturated soil under the hillside.
All of this water heads towards our church building with immense pres-sure and speed during a storm. We are currently planning a new drain-age system for quickly dispersing the water away from the building.
The climate here has changed in the 27 years I have been here. We are getting so much more water in
storms, that our company rou-tinely installs gutters and d o w n s p o u t s twice the ca-pacity of prior decades.
Our local storms over the holidays this year were so fierce with rain and wind, my own (fairly new) roof had a small leak by one of the kitchen windows. We were away but fortunately, I had a house sitter staying in the home and she noticed the leak quickly. She put a pot out to collect the water and called our roofer right away.
Even a little bit of water entering the house can cause quite a bit of damage if it is not stopped and dealt with quickly. The other issue with unwanted water besides damages to home interiors is mold, which can be toxic to our health.
The good news for us was that we improved our home’s drainage plan in 2008 when we completed a large remodel and increased our basement footprint. My house is also at the bottom of a hill just like my church, so we not only upsized the French-drain system to collect fast-moving hillside water, we also had three sump pumps in place as backup sys-
tems, along with a special sealant/drainage material behind the retain-ing walls where the collection drains were. We had a completely dry crawl space even during the terribly wet storms over the holidays.
With weather becoming more extreme and unpredictable due to climate change, homeowners and communities need to start proactive-ly planning for more “worst case” scenarios. The tsunami in Japan and Hurricane Sandy in the Northeast have proven that even though we have made many advances in the 21st century, we are going to have to build improved infrastructure sys-tems to protect ourselves, our homes and our communities.
FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Agency) has been re-drawing and enlarging maps of what our flood zones are, and more local residences are now in this circle of potential hazard. With the potential of sea level rising over the next few decades, our communities will need to decide how building codes should be adjusted and what infrastructure we will need to plan for to keep our areas of low-lying land from disap-pearing under the sea.
Ironically while we worry about having too much water in many circumstances, we will at some point have to worry about not hav-ing enough fresh water for all of the Earth’s inhabitants including hu-mans. We have seven billion people on our little planet today and are expecting nine billion by 2050. We are by far the largest consumers of water.
As Americans, we have viewed
water as an infinite resource when it comes to having easy and inexpen-sive access to clean drinking water. That attitude will need to be modi-fied with impending climate change. One-fifth of the world’s inhabitants suffer from water scarcity and one-third of humankind does not have access to clean drinking water.
Climate change will have sig-nificant impacts on water resources worldwide. Rising temperatures increase evaporation and lead to increased rainfall. And while the global supply of fresh water may increase, droughts and floods will become more frequent along with dramatic changes in snowfall and snow melt in the mountains.
While we ponder whether our cu-mulative human activities are having a serious impact on life as we know it on this planet, we are more and more vulnerable to water showing up in all the wrong places. Getting even local communities to agree on a proper proactive plan of action, let alone nations on different continents to act in unison, is a daunting task, but one that cannot be avoided.
Martin Luther King pointed out “we may have all come on differ-ent ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”
And I would add, the level of water our “boat” is sitting in is rising. ...

“If I want a Best Seller, I advertise in the Almanac and the Weekly.” – Lyn Jason Cobb
As a Realtor serving Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Atherton, Portola Valley and Woodside, I do my utmost to provide extraordinary service to my clients. The Almanac and the Palo Alto Weekly is always where I advertise fi rst because I like the home delivery, editorial focus, and it is a great value. I have always had great results promoting open homes in the Palo Alto Weekly and The Almanac, and I also run in special publications like Spring and Fall Real Estate, Neighborhoods and Info Menlo because of the great coverage and online presence. I am also a big believer in the Palo Alto Weekly’s Open Home Guide, which is by far the most accurate and comprehensive. I’ve had many buyers bring in the guide to my ‘Open Homes’ to see what I have listed.”
We will work to help your business grow! For Advertising information, please call

This beautifully designed home is filled with light
with floor to ceiling glass walls. The 8190 sq ft corner
lot faces a loop for safety, with 3 bedrooms, 2 full bath-
rooms with 1,910 square feet of living space. You will
never feel “fenced in” in this free flow of space from
one room to the next. From the conveniently located
kitchen, it takes a little more than half a dozen steps to
answer the front door, serve a meal or start the wash
in the indoor laundry room. Casual formality fills this
Green Gables home that blends interior comfort &
outdoor pleasure. Walk to schools, Main Library, Rin-
conada & Seale Park, Children’s Library & Theater.
This home is truly a rare find!
