Help the LAPD restore a native California landscape

The LAPD's Topanga station is joining with the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants to restore the landscaping on its six-acre property to a native California garden. A free two-hour class in native plant gardening will be offered on October 9 from 9-11 a.m. and October 18 from 6-8 p.m. Then on October 20 at 8:00 a.m., join Captain Tom Brascia's team as we plant the new garden with beautiful and drought-tolerant native California plants.

Don't want to get dirty with us? Be a sponsor! Modeled on the Adopt-a-Highway program, the native landscaping project will be supported by businesses, groups and individuals who volunteer to care for a zone of the garden or make a tax-deductible contribution to the Topanga Boosters to help pay for maintenance of the new landscape.
