The Kind Life


Native Plants

Native plant landscaper Margaret Oakley is calling on all gardeners in the LA area to volunteer this Saturday, January 22 in Mission Hills, to help turn a neglected parkway into a beautiful, natural one.
 
Volunteers would be managing local community members who come out to help plant native plants along the parkway, in an effort to create a more beautiful, native ecosystem along this desolate strip of land.
 
If you are free this Saturday, and you live in or around LA, check out the details below:

  • Who: You and any other skilled gardeners you know
  • What: Be a Team Leader for the East San Fernando Valley Nature Parkway's Day of Planting
  • Where: Mission Hills/Arleta area, specifically on Devonshire Blvd., between Woodman and Arleta Ave.
  • When: Saturday, January 22, 7:45am-3pm
  • Why: To guide a volunteer group in planting CA natives along a half mile long parkway, to transform a desolate area into a beautiful natural space, to help out a frequently ignored part of the LA community...

I'm in!

Every time I see LA without the dots, I think Louisiana. 

Thank you for posting. We need as many volunteers as possible. If you are in the Los Angeles area please come. Food and drinks will be provided throughout the day. It will be a gorgeous day and a healthy family activity.

This sounds like fun, are you going Alicia?
