The Altadena Library District invites you to a Grand Opening celebration of its new Water Conservation Demonstration Garden at the Altadena Library.
Supervisor Mike Antonovich will be in attendance as well as the Altadena Library District Staff and Board and community members.
The garden includes:
-
A Swale
A trench that follows the contour of the landscape to capture water and alleviate runoff.
-
A Hugelkultur
A passive water collection technique with stacked logs covered in soil.
-
An Infiltration Pond
To collect water and allow for water percolation.
Visitors can learn about these techniques, along with many others, including drought tolerant plant selection, that can be used in home landscaping projects.
