The primary
purpose of the Altadena Foothills Conservancy (AFC) is the
preservation of land in Altadena, California, focusing on
the natural foothills that provide a buffer between developed
residential neighborhoods and the rugged San Gabriel Mountains.
AFC works cooperatively with other conservancies in the region
and state.
Native Plant Gardening Tips Talk
Learn about gardening with native plants Wednesday, February 27, at 7:30 p.m. at the
Altadena Community Center, 730 East Altadena Drive.
Barbara Eisenstein, horticultural outreach and education coordinator at Rancho Santa Ana
Botanic Garden, will give a lively illustrated presentation of practical tips on gardening
with California native species.
Increased use of native plants in residential and public spaces saves water, saves money,
create wildlife habitat, and helps create beautiful "California Sublime" landscapes
appropriate to Southern California's climate.
Eisenstein will demystify the difficulties and share secrets of keeping California natives
happy in your garden. The talk is free.
The Conservancy is in need of a free or low cost webmaster
to assist us with maintaining this website and perhaps helping
with a redesign.
