Lawn to Garden Transformation in Leimert Park
Join the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Sustainability Alliance, Surfrider Foundation, and our coalition of partners for a one-of-a-kind, hands-on event. We will be transforming a water-hungry, monoculture grass lawn into a biodiverse habitat zone that captures rainwater, reintroduces threatened native plants to the neighborhood, and supports pollinators and the web of life in our local ecosystem over the course of two days.
We have roles for all kinds of volunteers, from those interested in digging in the dirt and planting plants to those who prefer to chat with the public about the importance of this project. Volunteers will have an opportunity to learn about reconditioning compacted soil, creating eco-friendly weed barriers, determining soil type, mulching, planting techniques and establishment care for California native plants, water capture design options, and much more. Sign up now. Sign up your friends (12 years of age and up). Let’s do this!
Also, this is a great way to earn your community service hours!
