SUMMARY:LITTLE FREE LIBRARY
DESCRIPTION:FREE BOOK EXCHANGE BOXES Various Location around LA\nThrough Little Free Library book exchanges\, millions of books are exchanged each year\, profoundly increasing access to books for readers of all ages and backgrounds. \n  \n \n  \n  \nWhy Does Book Access Matter?\nAcademically\, children growing up in homes without books are on average three years behind children in homes with lots of books\, even when controlled for other key factors. One of the most successful ways to improve the reading achievement of children is to increase their access to books\, especially at home. But two out of three children living in poverty have no books to call their own. \n  \n \nBook-sharing boxes play an essential role by providing 24/7 access to books (and encouraging a love of reading!) in areas where books are scarce. \nAt the Little Free Library nonprofit\, we’re working to fill book deserts and place libraries where they can make a big impact through our Impact Library Program. We’ve donated more than 1\,000 libraries through this program to-date. \n  \n \n  \nThe Los Angeles area is already home to almost 75 such libraries; use the Little Free Library map to find exact addresses for boxes in Hollywood\, Culver City\, Westchester\, Marina Del Rey\, Burbank\, and beyond. More locations will certainly be springing up soon. \n  \n \n  \nOur staff is dedicated to increasing book access and forging community connections.  Watch the adjacent video to get a 30-second introduction to learn how you can start one\, too! \n  \n \n  \n  \nWe provide ongoing support to Little Free Library volunteer stewards\, offering free library-building instructions\, an online store with pre-built library models and kits\, access to free or discounted books\, and an e-newsletter full of ideas and advice. Our Action Book Club\, which combines reading with community service\, is open to all. \n  \n  \n \n  \nWe also maintain a world map of registered Little Free Library boxes to help people find and share books wherever they are\, and we have donated more than 1\,000 Little Free Library book exchanges (and counting!) to communities where books are scarce through our Impact Library Program. \n  \n  \n \n  \nFor additional information\, visit the website @ \nlittlefreelibrary.org\n \n  \nFind more \n \n \n \n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:South Coast Botanical Gardens
DESCRIPTION:FREE EVERY THIRD TUESDAY– Palos Verdes Peninsula\nThe South Coast Botanical Garden is located on the beautiful Palos Verdes Peninsula. This lush 87-acre botanic garden has more than 2500 different species of plants that offer shelter to abundant wildlife and bird population. The diversities of trees include the fruit trees\, redwoods\, ginkgo’s\, and pittosporum designed with various themes. This botanical garden in Palos Verdes has plants even from Australia\, the Mediterranean\, and Southern Africa. One can find the beautiful ever-changing display of seasonal annuals from the entrance to the exit of this enormous garden. \nBut what makes this garden unique is that it is one of the world’s first botanical gardens to be developed over a sanitary landfill. The Garden is a masterpiece of creative land reclamation and environment improvement for all to share. It is a living testimonial to the fact that land reclamation not only offers a practical solution to refuse disposal problems\, but also beautifies and improves land values at the same time. \nSouth Coast Botanical Garden Map CLICK TO ENLARGE\nPopular features in the South Coast Botanical Garden\n \nBanyan Grove\nThe highlight of the Ficus collection is the grove of Moreton Bay Fig trees that cover the area with a massive tangle of roots. In the spring\, colorful Clivias brighten the understory of this shady grove. \nCalifornia Native Plants\nGrowing California native plants in the Garden offers many benefits: they use less water; they provide habitat and food for birds\, bees\, butterflies\, and other wildlife; they have colorful flower displays from spring to summer and berries and seeds into the fall and winter. There are several areas of the Garden where you can find California Native Plants in the landscape and gardens. The primary areas are the landscaping around the Greenhouse Complex\, the Mediterranean Garden\, and the El Rincon Garden at the corner of the Tram Road and the Service Yard road marked by the rustic lodge pole pergola. \n  \n \nChildren’s Garden and Children’s Discovery Garden\nOur most popular among young people\, this garden is developed around nursery rhymes with plants to match the stories. An enchanted dollhouse and bridge enhance the setting. Adjacent to the Children’s Garden is the Discovery Garden with a secret tunnel\, worm bin\, alphabet garden\, butterfly garden\, and whimsical characters. \n  \n \nThe New Rose Garden \nEvery view in the remarkable new Rose Garden (First Bloom coming April 2018) is breathtaking. Hand-crafted\, wrought iron fence-work depicts rose emblems\, rounded staircases gently welcome guests in\, rich warm wood tones envelop architectural structures\, a large fountain features an exquisite glass mosaic\, and of course\, colorful roses drip from every crevice. A grand guest entrance provides a magnificent overview of the formally planted space\, allowing guests to catch a glimpse of the beautiful asymmetrical design created by renowned landscape architect\, Deborah Richie-Bray\, who is known for her work at the Getty Villa. Undulating pathways guide gently through a labyrinth of planted beds and sculptural elements. Two cabana structures flank the central court and provide shade on a hot day. The celebration lawn houses several formal entrance paths that lead to a grand pergola with a raised plaza which will serve as a “stage” for events and ceremonies. \nThe more than 80 rose selections feature a variety of forms\, from climbers to ground covers. The choice of fragrant roses such as the David Austin English\, create a space of beauty in sight and scent. Rose cultivars have also been chosen by theme (the Flower Girl lines the potential bride’s path) and color (notice the ombré effect from peach to pink to red on the eastern side.) Some of the oldest varieties were hybridized in the 1800’s including Barrone Prevoset and Madame Plantier. These along with 20 rare cultivars were saved from the original garden. The Rose Garden has a unique planting design that will provide year-round appeal with plenty of non-rose companion plantings to ensure a lush experience. While typically rose gardens close for pruning when the main event plants have been clipped down to bare sticks\, the layered and diverse plant palette of this garden will provide delight year-round. Watch for bursts of purple jacaranda\, hot pink crape myrtle\, and powdery pink cherry blossoms up high\, and lower to the ground seek out blooming paper whites\, sage\, boxwood and succulents. \n  \n \nDesert Garden\nThe Desert Garden includes cacti\, euphorbia\, aloes\, and other succulents. The garden is an excellent exhibition of specimens from the United States\, Africa\, Mexico\, and South America. \n \nJapanese Garden/Koi Pond\nGarden maintained with a Bonsai Display by South Coast Bonsai Association. Enjoy listening to the calming sounds of water and taking in the subdued palette of evergreen shrubbery embracing the Koi Pond. The stone lanterns were crafted of Okazaki Stone over 200 years ago in a region said to be the capital of Japan’s stone craft. \nMediterranean Garden\nMediterranean refers to a unique climate consisting of mild\, cool\, rainy winters and hot\, dry summers seen in only five places in the world: coastal California\, the Mediterranean Basin\, southwest Australia\, the southwest Cape of South Africa\, and coastal Chile. California native plants are emphasized here. Mediterranean plants are environmentally friendly because they require very little supplemental water once established. Native plants have the added benefit of providing food and shelter to wildlife and pollinators. \nDisplay Greenhouse\nThe Display Greenhouse is open to the public from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm daily. Designed with the color palette in mind\, the colors range from warm to cool tones. Inside the greenhouse you will find a display of a variety of tropical plants such as: Adenium\, Anthurium\, Begonia\, Bromeliad\, Carnivorous plants\, Cordyline\, Croton\, Orchids\, Hoya\, and Passionflower vine. \nFuchsia Garden\nEstablished and maintained by the South Coast Branch of the National Fuchsia Society\, this garden contains many different species\, cultivars\, and new introductions. Overhead shade cloth filters strong sunlight to allow fuchsias and other shade-loving plants to thrive. \nGarden for the Senses\nThis garden encourages you to enjoy plants and flowers by smell\, touch\, sound\, and sight. Plants are arranged in raised beds so they can easily be touched or smelled. Individual plant labels identify which senses the plant engages. \nAnd more! \nMust Visit Place for All Nature Lovers\nThe South Coast Botanic Garden serves the community in various ways by providing a unique horticultural and wildlife habitat experience.

Kallam\, the garden offers design ideas and outstanding plants for Southern California Gardens. \n  \n \nShowcasing herbs and shrubs that contribute to human cultures around the world\, the Herb Garden reveals the botanical sources for medicines\, spices\, textiles and other basics of living. \n  \n \nA path resembling a serpent\, inspired by the creation myth of the Australian Aborigines\, winds through a selection of “Down Under” plants that are outstanding for our region. \n  \n \nStunning vistas of the San Gabriel Mountains are enjoyed across lawns framed by magnolias and temperate trees offering outstanding fall color. \n  \n \nDesigned by noted landscape architect Edward Huntsmen Trout\, the Rose Garden features heritage varieties and David Austin selections\, amid elegant pergolas and arbors\, all in a setting of citrus and swaying Mexican fan palms. \n  \n \nTreasures from Los Angeles County Arboretum’s tropical plant collections\, which include several thousand orchids\, find a home in this lush greenhouse display. \n  \n \nShowcasing plants from Mediterranean climates around the world\, the Water Conservation Garden seeks to demonstrate that careful planting design can achieve high standards of both landscape beauty and water stewardship. \n\nAdmission\nOn the third Tuesday of the month\, admission is free. Advance tickets are required.  Please click here to reserve tickets for Free Day. \n\nGetting Here\nThe Arboretum is located in the city of Arcadia\, just east of Pasadena and across the street from Santa Anita Park.

We believe in romanticizing our daily lives and what better way to do that than doing yoga on a beautiful beach in Southern California? In this class\, Noel will lead us through yoga flows that invite us to check in with our body and mind. We will leave the mat feeling centered and rejuvenated. \nThis event is sponsored by The Phoenix\, a nonprofit organization that leverages community and fitness to lead a healthy lifestyle without substance use. We ask only one thing from our participants — 48 hours of sobriety. To ensure a safe and healthy space\, we ask everyone to wear a mask. Our Tuesday events are led by Noel\, a certified yoga instructor\, holistic health practitioner\, and substance use counselor in the making! Noel brings years of experience and wants one thing: to share her passion for healing with others for FREE. \n \nThere are many benefits of attending Phoenix events: \n\nFree loaner yoga mats provided\nExtra PPE (if you forget a mask or it breaks\, we have one for you)\nCommunity of shared experiences of wanting to lead a healthy lifestyle minus drugs\n\nWe will meet every Tuesday at 4:30 PM at the grassy patch next to Lot 5.\nThe best way to spot us is by looking for a volunteer who will be wearing our shirt. Parking is just $2 at the lot. \nYou may bring your own mat and supplies if you wish. We also recommend bringing a jacket or sweater\, as the weather can get chilly in the evening hours. Space is limited\, so please register for the class here (click on “Find a Class\,” “Local Programs” and then enter your Zip Code). This ensures that we can provide adequate equipment and maintain an appropriate number of participants due to COVID-19 restrictions.
