In 2010, our neighborhood united to create a new garden at Fire Station 23 to replace the weeds and overgrown shrubs. The garden serves as an important entrance into our neighborhood and is designed to meld with the natural background of Los Liones Canyon and Topanga State Park. The initial fundraiser was sufficient to take care of eight years of ongoing maintenance expenses, such as plant replacements, irrigation repair, tools and trash bags, etc., with volunteers doing most of the work. It costs between $1,200 – $1,500 a year to continue the maintenance which includes some regular help from a gardener. With your generous support, we would like to continue to maintain the garden at Fire Station 23 and our special relationship with the captain and resident fire fighters, who appreciate the work we do.
