Native Plant Gardening tips at the Rosemont Preserve

All are invited to learn about native plant gardening at the Rosemont Preserve on Saturday morning, Oct. 23 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Tour the Preserve with local amateur native plant enthusiast Michael Seales, who will give tips to attendees on how to select native plants for their gardens and planting tips. The best time of year to add native plants to local yards is late fall so this topic is timely. 

The Rosemont Preserve is located at the top of Rosemont Avenue behind the chain link fence.

Due to limited parking at the Preserve, park at Two Strike Park at 5107 Rosemont Ave. in La Crescenta.  Those with mobility issues that require a closer parking spot can contact the Friends of the Rosemont Preserve. 

Wear sturdy shoes to walk the trail. Those who have questions can contact RosemontFriends@gmail.com.
