Native Plant Garden Tour, 20th Anniversary, Theodore Payne Foundation, April 15th and 16th, 2023
https://www.nativeplantgardentour.org/
This year they are pulling out all the stops, highlighting visionary native plant landscapes across the city, and the cast of characters—people, plants and animals alike—who make them what they are. Join in, reorienting towards an ancient, ever-changing spring—the overflowing abundance of nature.
Since 2003, more than 600 public and private landscapes have participated in the Native Plant Garden Tour. Ranging from coastal container gardens to modernist foothill estates to experimental urban homesteads, each unique design offers beauty and critical habitat for wildlife in one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots. The gardens on this tour contain at least 50 percent native plants!
– CELEBRATING WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH –
Contributed by Rachael Reiser
L34 Group Partner Agent
Spring is in the air, and March is abuzz with the excitement for a new season full of longer days, blossoming flowers, and seasonal produce. March is also significant for the celebration of Women’s History. Women’s History Month is designated in “commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.” – Womenshistory.org
A great way to be involved in women’s history month is by supporting women artists, writers, business owners and charities. Here are a few suggestions:
ART
Supporting female artists: Visit “Ladies Room,” an online Los Angeles based art gallery.
“LADIES’ ROOM IS A GALLERY THAT EXCLUSIVELY SHOWS WOMEN AND NON-BINARY ARTISTS (ALL GENDERS ARE WELCOME TO VISIT)”

We love our clients and they love us….
❝We could not have had a better experience with Stephen McAlpin and L34 Group. Stephen is an exceptional listener and extremely patient agent who guided us every step of the way. After moving across the country, he helped us hone in on the perfect house and gave us the right advice so we were ready to make an offer and had our first one accepted. We are beyond happy with our new home or so grateful for Stephen’s help!❞
