VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

What a fun month! Thank you is not enough to express our gratitude to the Carlson and Joyce families for hosting guests during the Native Garden Tours. We also appreciate all of you who came out to support us and the Theodore Payne Foundation last week.

This week we have the honor of sharing three beautiful gardens during the Art of the Garden Tour. The Clayton, Fimbres, and Kay families are graciously opening their gardens on Sunday. We are so grateful!

Hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi

Blooming Now in LA

Modest rains have created festivals of foliage in our wildspaces and gardens. Here’s a little help in identifying the blooms you love!  

 

Sustaining Your Garden

Remember abundant foliage makes for abundant fuel. Join us in taking the following steps.

Protect Your Home:

  • Keep foliage from the ground – raise low branches
  • Prune to open shrubbery and reduce fuel
  • Remove all dead material and weed growth
  • Clear foliage away from rooflines and eaves
  • Maintain proper spacing among plants
  • Follow fire code restrictions within 200 feet of structures

Protect your health… and your wallet:

  • Eliminate mosquito-breeding still water
  • Inspect sprinklers for leaks and overspray
  • Optimize drip irrigation coverage and timing
  • Mulch to maintain moisture and prevent weeds
  • Water by hand where necessary

Ready gardens for summer:

  • Replenish vegetable and herb gardens…. Mmmm basil!
  • Evaluate summer oak tree pruning needs
  • Take time to smell the salvia!
