FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | APRIL 2026 25 Conservancy Committee The committee made an inspection walk of the northwest portion of Trail B and the outer perimeter of the Potrero. On our way to the northwest section of Trail B, we saw some trash below the north side of the Potrero Bridge. A photo was sent to management requesting that K. Hovnanian remove it. We found the trail areas to be well maintained and picked up a few pieces of blown-in trash. We noted the KHOV installed fencing which separated the 26 lot area from the Conservancy Easement (explained in the Daily Report on Feb. 27). The members approved Donna Lewis as the Co-Chair for the remainder of the year. Thank you, Donna. Our next inspection walk on April 1 will be of the eastern portion of Edison Easement and the Sam's Canyon Meadow. We will start our walk from the east end of Green Creek Trail at 8 am. We welcome all to join us. ~ Howard Ochi Landscape Committee April Showers Bring May Flowers … Many historians believe this old adage dates back to at least the 1500s describing how spring rains nourish new life. For our community, it translates into a colorful reality, as we shi from the tail end of the rainy season to a peak oral display. Four Seasons Beaumont's unique elevation and USDA Hardiness Zone 9b, allows for a diverse mix of garden ower varieties and native wildowers that thrive as temperatures rise and daylight lengthens. As homeowners and a Green Leaf designated property, you have the opportunity for creative freedom to update and/or modify your front yard planter areas per your specic preferences in plants and owers. If not a Green Leaf designated property, you are still permitted to plant seasonal annual owers to your front yard planter area. April: e Season of Anticipation While April provides the moisture necessary for growth, it is also a month of early oral brilliance. • Bulbs and Blossoms: Early spring favorites like tulips and daodils are in full swing. • Tree Blooms: Landscapes oen showcase blossoms through the end of the month. • Wildower Beginnings: In the surrounding hills, lupines and California poppies may start appearing as early as March and continue their colorful display into May. May: e Peak Performance By May, consistent warmth and post-rain soil moisture trigger a broader explosion of color. • Roses: is is the primary month for roses to begin their long blooming season, which can last through October in our area. • Hardy Perennials: Local nurseries feature Dianthus and other pollinators that ourish in the May sun. Gardening Tips: • Timing is Key: Aim to plant heat-loving owers once the threat of late frost has passed in March. • Watering: While April showers help, Beaumont's windy conditions can dry out soil quickly; ensure consistent moisture to support May's heavy bloomers and throughout our hot summer months. • Selection of Plants: Be re-wise and don't landscape with the wrong plants. Due to the risk of res, it is important to understand that selecting re-resistant plants can minimize re risk to your property. • Fire-resistant plants: ese include living, natural plants that resist ignition due to their high moisture, low oil content, or low-growth habits. Some examples of re-resistant plants include Succulents, Ice Plant, Lavender, Coral Bells, Lily of the Nile, Buttery Bush, and California Buckwheat. When selecting outdoor plants for your home, please note that not all of California native plants or drought-tolerant plants are re-resistant. No plant is completely reproof. All plants will eventually burn under extreme conditions; however, re-resistant plants are those that resist ignition longer due to their high moisture content. Need further information on re-resistant plants? Check out Calscape.org, a free, comprehensive website created by the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) that assists users to identify, select and grow plants native to their specic location using zip code searches. e Landscape Committee meets monthly, the third Tuesday of each month at 1 pm in the RCN Conference Room. Each homeowner is allowed three to ve minutes to address the committee regarding their specic issue or concerns. NOTE: If you are in the Front Yard Cost Center and are interested in conversion to a Green Leaf property, questions should be directed to Shannon in the Management Oce at (951) 769-6358. ~ Katee Morris
