VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+
Can you imagine a more beautiful month? Not only have the mountains filled with flowers, so many of you filled our tour gardens with your smiles!
We are incredibly grateful to our Native Plant Garden Tour garden owners for sharing their bloom-filled spaces this past weekend – so fun! And there is more to see! This weekend, the Schumachers will be sharing their enchanting, shaded Pasadena retreat during the Art of the Garden Tour.
We also have two tickets to share to the Municipal Green Building Conference and Expo featuring Former Federal Chief Sustainability Officer for the United States, Christine Harada. If you’d like to join us, please let us know.
Happy spring everyone!
Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi

Lake Elsinore, Joshua Tree, and other areas adjacent to Super Bloom sites prepared for a poppy-getton. They got one! Their hillsides, covered in blooms, were also soon covered in Instagram traffic. What if we could have a Super Bloom every year? What if we didn’t have to drive so far for it?
Blooming Now
Native parks and gardens are hosting their own super blooms, right here in town. They feature not only poppies, but a wide array of spectacular, distinctive, only-in-LA kind of blooms. Check them out: Blooming Now!
Sustain Your Garden
While it is tempting to simply kick back and enjoy the beauty, maintenance will be key to keeping your garden fire-wise and at its best in this high-rain year.
