Why a native plant walkway?In the face of global warming, threats of prolonged drought, increasing water costs, pleas for water conservation and escalating strains on household and business budgets, the need for a change in the way Chatsworth residents landscape their homes and businesses with thirsty foliage is clear. Native plants indigenous to the area can provide an attractive, water conserving, economical way to beautify homes and businesses. Unfortunately, many people think of drought tolerant plants native to Chatsworth as thorny, contorted, hazardous looking cactuses. The walkway provides many living examples to dispel this misconception, offers a pleasant, fragrant, tranquil spot to sit and enjoy the garden surroundings and offers the opportunity, through brochures, signage and classes to learn more about the selection and care of drought tolerant species native to the Chatsworth area. The Chatsworth Native Plant Walkway is a joint project of the Congregational Church of Chatsworth UCC and the City of Los Angeles, Office of Community Beautification, Community Beautification Project Visitors are welcome at any time. The Walkway is located at 20440 Lassen Street, Chatsworth 91311 immediately east of the church in the area between the sidewalk and the parking lot. |
