What a beautiful day it was on Sunday, when Old Marengo Park was dedicated!  Taking a deserted, sandy triangle and turning it into a verdant garden that demonstrates the use of California native plants was an effort involving the entire community--Arroyos & Foothills Conservancy, Altadena Heritage, in-kind donations from local businesses, and hundreds of volunteer hours. 

The land is owned by Los Angeles County, but the park is maintained by the neighbors and other volunteers.  For more on the story, read about it in Altadena Patch.
