Re “How one woman is doggedly transforming a trash patch into a fragrant habitat garden” (May 24): Jeanette Marantos’ article was exactly what I hope to find in the Home and Garden section every Saturday. It’s always great to see people cleaning up weedy, trashy spaces. Even more valuable is the use of native plants to provide beauty and environmental benefit. Relatively small spaces in urban settings can bring a much needed element of nature when native plants are used. Although the project described in the article is in L.A., there are plenty of people doing similar work in our region. Your coverage of such activities is very helpful. Please give us more.
