VALUED CUSTOMERS & FRIENDS+
We predictably leave April with full hearts and minds for having connected with so many of you out in the natural world. We look forward to the shift in perspective, the rush of ideas, and that sense that we are all shoulder to shoulder creating a more beautiful, safe, resilient LA together.
We hope you are moving into May with renewed wonder and joy. We sure are. Thank you for the fun!
Sincerely,
Cassy and Kirk Aoyagi
Sierra Madre has added yet another expansive, water positive community garden – funded entirely by donations and a single water district grant.
Cassy Aoyagi: Representative Judy Chu honored our clients Bob Spears, Jim Walsworth and Georgia Case, for their transformation of a U.S. Postal Service-leased property into a fire defensive demonstration garden. See More
FormLA Staff: In 2023, the community of Sierra Madre completed a transformation of the expansive Louis Van Iersel Post Office landscape, designed by Isara Ongwiseth to model fire defense and water positivity. See More
FormLA Staff: What does it take to build a community demonstration garden? Learn from Bob Spears, a retired fire fighter who envisioned a fire defensive demonstration garden at his local post office. Learn More

Landscaping is a three part process – maintenance ensures a space reaches and holds its aesthetic.
JT Wilkinson: It typically takes three years and skilled maintenance for a properly planted native garden to achieve its full aesthetic and impact. It is worth the wait! Here is what to expect along the way. Get Growing!
