Catching up: PSN's Sandy Barrera has a nice piece about creating natural-looking California native and Mediterranean-adapted gardens, or how to let your garden look wild and natural. Altadena gardens are the centerpiece of this movement, of course!
On a related note, the Junior League of Pasadena will have its annual "Kids in the Kitchen" event on May 14 at the Armory Center for the Arts. "Go Bananas! From Farm to Table" is a place where middle school children can learn about where their food comes from, with information about health, nutrition, and active cooking demonstrations. Former NFL player Derek Norman will also be on hand to host a fitness workshop. More info: http://kidsinthekitchen.ajli.org/
There will be a meeting at Burbank Elementary School tonight starting at about 6 PM to talk about their Mandarin immersion program (which will move to Fields Elementary next year). More information here.
