VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+

We often forget this side of LA – that rainy season may occasionally be a season and may occasionally include rain! With every drop saved, we send thanks to those of you who have added and expanded bioswales, re-vamped patios and drives to absorb water, and added lush, leafy native greenery to clean it!

This month, we are especially grateful to the Kaufmans, hosts of Garden 18 on the Native Plant Garden Tour, as well as Bob Spears and Jim Walsworth, who lead the rewilding of the Sierra Madre Post Office garden. Thank you for all you’ve done to help LA make the most of these storms!

Sincerely,

Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
