Los Angeles has a unique climate that is only found in four other areas around the world. Just like Angelinos and native plants, some of the plants in this garden thrive because they too have adapted in regions with warm, dry summers and mild winters. This garden supports sustainable landscaping and habitat. Since these plants need less water after establishment, homeowners benefit from reductions in their water bills.
