Tour of an LA community garden (video)

Los Angeles Community Garden Council, 7/20/20; Crystal Q., Xochitl (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

At 5466 Huntington Drive South in El Sereno, California 90032, blooms the El Sereno Community Garden.

It's on 2.5 acres of Los Angeles Department of Transportation land, along a busy section of Huntington Drive South that had at one time been slated to become part of the 710 Freeway connection to Interstate 10.

When that project was shelved, the vacant, trash-filled lot was offered up as a garden and came with a city donation of $100,000, half of which went directly to the Conservation Corps, the youth group that builds infrastructure for many community gardens.

The garden and 50+ plots, most of them 10 feet by 15 feet, an open-air "plaza" meeting area, and Passive Park, a communal garden of California native plants and low-maintenance ornamentals, ringed with fruit trees.
