Altadena is a haven for gardening ninjas and two of them will be sharing their skills on sustainable gardening Saturday.
At an LA County Arboretum class titled, “Create a Sustainable Oasis” designers Leigh Adams and John Lyons will “describe the development of a thriving organic garden blending fruit trees, native plants and storm water, a garden rich in pollinators, delicious fruit and vegetables and lush flowering mounds,” the Arboretum shared.
Among their creative endeavors, Adams and Lyons collaborated on a water harvesting garden design in the hills of Altadena.
Lyons is one of the Arboretums’ most popular speakers and Adams created a 960 foot “DreamSnake” in the Australian section of the Arboretum using glazed tiles in mosaic patterns, the Arboretum noted.
