Every Diwali in the Bigg Boss house there are two traditions. The contestants bring out their ethnic best of varied hues and host Salman Khan enters the house to celebrate this festival of lights with the contestants. And this year, this Diwali extravaganza has a magical twist!
The daring contestants in the house, Soni, Sushant and Aarya chose Dare and were given dares which included having to do a headstand, having to lift Puneet, and dance like a ballerina. The day was crystal clear after the rain, and the Friends and their guests on the Great Lawn reminded me of a beautiful Monet painting, but the best evidence of the success of the Garden Tour were the totally empty cookie trays in the Pool Pavilion, remarked Joan Selwyn, the founder of the Friends.

2022 Garden Tour Home for the Holidays Extravaganza
“The day was crystal clear after the rain, and the Friends and their guests on the Great Lawn reminded me of a beautiful Monet painting, but the best evidence of the success of the Garden Tour were the totally empty cookie trays in the Pool Pavilion,” remarked Joan Selwyn, the founder of the Friends. Our annual Garden Tour raises much needed funds for the preservation and restoration of our beloved Virginia Robinson Gardens. Thanks to our terrific Garden Tour co-chairs Elaine Stein and Katie Marsano, the 2022 Garden Tour, Home for the Holidays Extravaganza on November 5 was a fabulous day, filled with beauty and inspiration. It was a labor of love not only for our co-chairs, but also for our wonderful President Betty Goldstein, and our very talented and dedicated Garden Tour Committee, Superintendent Diane Sipos, volunteers, docents, curator April Walton and our County staff, and Member Relations & Administrative Manager Barbara Remedios.
The tour included two stunning private gardens, thanks to Maralee Beck and Jeanne Anderson, who worked tirelessly with our generous hosts, longtime Patrons of the Friends, and our enthusiastic volunteers to present these very special gardens, both offering spectacular views of the golf course of the Riviera Country Club.
The original concept of the first garden was conceived by the renowned Belgian firm Wirtz international and was subsequently translated by the very talented garden designer Lisa Zeder. Working in tandem with the Wirtzes, Lisa used hedges of Japanese boxwood and Carolina cherry to shape the spaces into a series of serene green terraces, each offering a different view. Water features, flowering trees and shrubs enliven the garden space while delicate roses emerge from billowing hedges in this Certified Wildlife Habitat sanctuary. Another very dramatic addition to the landscape is the work of visionary light artist James Turrell. He installed a light pavilion overlooking the swimming pool, which reflects a 45-minute cycle of colors changing from green to blue to pink to orange, bringing enjoyment to friends and neighbors all along the ridge.
The second garden was created and shared generously by the owner who, with the help of landscape designer March Wiseley, transformed the craftsman-influenced home to epitomize California’s indoor/outdoor lifestyle. From the street entrance, you are embraced by the owner’s passion for roses. As you walk through the house, the very private feeling opens up to dazzling views of the golf club and a backyard tailored for entertaining. A huge Coral tree, hydrangeas, azaleas, and camellias decorate the space, and various tables allow seatings to venture from the outdoor dining option to the covered patio. The landscape reflects water-wise strategies with style and elegance in a terraced garden while a fruit and flower cutting garden allows the signature Southern California delights of citrus, figs, and floral experiments to flourish.
After viewing these remarkable estates, the guests enjoyed the Virginia Robinson Gardens where select rooms of the house and exterior spaces were transformed by top florists and designers. Always a highlight of Garden Tour, and thanks to Kerstin Royce who selects the florists, these dazzling floral displays never fail to delight and inspire the attendees.
A new member of the Friends, Virginia Newman decorated the Front Entrance with holiday-themed conical topiaries festooned with white doves and pinecones in decorative urns. These glorious “Morgan Della Robbia Planters” are resin reproductions cast from old-world estate originals, created by Virginia’s company, Pennoyer Newman. An ivy topiary decorated with white orchids and carnations resting on Mrs. Robinson’s decorative monkey garden ornament (also cast by Virginia from the original), further enhanced the festive theme.
For the final four weeks of the fantasy season and through the playoffs, the RB1 was not Alvin Kamara, even with his 56.2 fantasy point explosion. It wasn’t Derrick Henry, or Aaron Jones, or Dalvin Cook. It was David Montgomery. Montgomery put up 100.9 fantasy points in four weeks, consistently giving you over 20 fantasy points in three of those four weeks. His lowest mark was 18.1. Montgomery’s final quarter of the season was reliable, consistent, and elite. You can’t ask for much more.
