Good idea. We have a garden. It is a community garden. 12 plots. My wife prefers flowers. I want food. This summer the plot I control is growing lettuce, and shortly more edibles. One block from home in a very urban part of town it is our haven. Try to be in it for 3 hours each day. I work to become a green thought in a green shade. https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44682/the-garden-56d223dec2ced
The countryside, up by Eureka, is Redwood country. Just South of Eureka is a tiny Victorian village called Ferndale where a Steven King flick was shot. The Mendocino coast is very nice. Urban California not so nice now. Actually come to think it, Meth is a big problem in the Northern part of the state. If you come again do Monterey county, Carmel is very nice. Clint Eastwood once was mayor.
I saw Kurosawa's RAN opening night in LA. I wish I had seen Blade Runner in LA instead of Sacramento. Hmm. The best cultural experience for me in Southern California was in San Diego county. In the Spreckles theater I saw Angels in America 1 and 2. In La Jolla Randy Newman's Faust. And in downtown San Diego Art Museum a fine German Expressionist exhibit. Kathe Kollwitz well represented.

How vainly men themselves amaze
To win the palm, the oak, or bays,
And their uncessant labours see
Crown’d from some single herb or tree,
Whose short and narrow verged shade
Does prudently their toils upbraid;
While all flow’rs and all trees do close
To weave the garlands of repose.
I am breaking away, I started by planting a garden.
