Many thank to students from Crespi Carmelite High School for helping the Village Gardeners maintain the native plant garden at the Richard Lillard Outdoor Classroom in Studio City. They removed invasive, non-native plants species, mulched to restore the soil, cleared the catch basins along the river and more. They did an excellent job and their hard work paid off with awesome results!
