Gardens of the World

La Canada Valley Beautiful and FormLA Landscaping worked in partnership to create the Gardens of the World. They aimed to beautify this high-profile community space, save water, demonstrate the aesthetic of LA climate friendly gradens, and serve as a resource for both property owners and professional landscapers. From 2008-2016, the Gardens were maintained, in part, through free community workshops hosted by FormLA Landscaping and La Canada Valley Beautiful. They are now maintained by La Canada Valley Beautiful.
