JONI HILTON
WHEN JONI AND BOB HILTON moved to a
new Northern California neighborhood a
few years ago, they inherited the builder’s
standard-issue tree in a flat yard and a
stubby sidewalk from the driveway to the
front door. Although the Hiltons had a pro
install the brick-trimmed stairway, they
lugged in a mountain of soil to create a
pleasing slope. Joni spent a week digging
and planting borders with verbena,
geraniums, and a showy, large-leaf
Farfugium.
“I grew up doing all the nonfun
parts of gardening for my dad,” Joni jokes.
“Now my kids get to pull weeds.”
