GardenLA.com is the brainchild of one person, Steven C. Gardening is his passion.
GardenLA is the result of his activities relating to gardening, volunteering at local schools, and community involvement.
For now, the site is owned by his business, as part of his belief that local businesses should actively contribute to their community. Eventually, we may incorporate GardenLA into a full fledged 501(c)(3) non profit organization. As we grow, we hope to incorporate the talents and experiences of many new friends. (The first of whom is Ann Warren, our volunteer web designer. Thanks Ann!)
