Art Fittinghoff prunes some of the roses on his property, Hester Creek Farms in the Los Gatos mountains. His wife, Ann, runs a special-event floral business.

Marjorie Cassel is the loving owner of a garden and home in the Los Gatos mountains. She's getting ready—with the help of a handyman—for visitors who will come from near and far to tour her property as part of the second annual Loma Prieta Community Foundation's spring mountain garden tour and brunch May 8 and 9. Participants will have the opportunity to meander through Cassel's paradise, as well as five other beautiful, blooming mountain gardens.
