Prior to building her Amalfi Drive mansion, Baum had only been in the USA for a short time, having come here in 1932. Also in 1932, Baum’s most-fa- mous novel, “Grand Hotel,” pub- lished in 1929, was turned into a movie of the same name. This now-classic film, set in a Berlin hotel where “nothing ever hap- pens,” starred Greta Garbo and Vicki Baum John Barrymore.

hether your garden is an Wexpanse of lawns, trees and BARTENDERS bushes, or just a quiet corner of a for Every Occasion! patio, it should be beautiful and relaxing. And one of the best ad- ditions to a garden, beyond love- ly plants, is the color and happy chirping of birds. Luckily, it is easy to attract birds to your garden. All you have to do is provide the things birds (and all of us) need: food, water, shelter and a safe place to raise children. And the plants that you choose are a key component in creating a refuge they will want to visit again and again.

Food Besides having a well-chosen bird feeder, certain plants are sure to attract birds as well as butter- flies. Native plants and bushes, such as chia (salvia columbariae), provide seeds that birds love, as well as beautiful blue flowers. A native toyon bush (Heteromeles arbutifolia), with its striking red trunks, has berries that are an im- portant winter food source. Honeysuckle vines (Lonicera) with flowers in multiple colors do triple duty. The nectar brings hummingbirds and butterflies, while the berries are cherished by many different birds.
