Geneva Garden Gracefully Glides On

The newest of the Monterey gardens is Geneva and 
it's looking terrific.

Like for instance Janet's spectacular cabbage

and Alek's kaleidoscopic artichoke

put the sun behind Jean and Magy's chard
and you have vividness you wouldn't believe

and Elena and Rigoberto's zucchini flowers are blazing
into fruitiness

 What a gorgeous garden.

The LA river! Starting May 27th Paddle It! And/or help clean it up May 18th with thousands of fellow awesome people.


The Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority is excited to announce the launch of the new L.A. River Pilot Recreation Zone. From Memorial Day to Labor Day this summer, for the first time ever, any member of the public will be able to take their kayak down to the L.A. River in Elysian Valley—on a 2.5 mile stretch from Fletcher downstream to Steelhead Park. MRCA rangers will be watching out for safety, and anyone can come on down to that stretch of the river every day during daylight hours to walk, kayak or fish. Find out more at www.lariverrecreation.org.  I paddled the river last year with the Army Corps of Engineers' pilot program and it was just the best thing ever.

And you can volunteer for La Gran Limpieza: The Great LA River Clean Up!

The river, she is so beautiful.
