We’re still awaiting approvals from Recreation and Parks in order to resume volunteer efforts. In the meantime, you can alert us that you’re interested in volunteering once we get the green light.

The property is owned by the Department of Recreation and Parks. The Griffith Park and MacArthur Park maintenance divisions work out of this location. The LA Conservation Corps is one of several partner organizations at this site and they are currently operating a tree nursery for CityPlants. The Los Angeles Parks Foundation is another partner who is activating a portion of the site for a Native Plant Demonstration Garden and nursery engagement area. They are responsible for coordinating and managing the development and construction of the site as an environmental and horticultural learning center and were key to securing grant funding that would assist in this transformation.

Currently no one is managing the nursery. LA Parks Foundation is occupying the small cottage.

This really was a fabulous article and glad you liked it. For a variety of reasons, Grown in LA is currently not involved in the Commonwealth Nursery but we’re hoping at some point this organization and the nursery will get a reboot. I’ll pass this along to Katherine in the meantime.

And that photo! The glories of those terraces! Incredible compared to what it is today.
