Arlington Garden

Arlington Garden is a volunteer-built community habitat garden in Pasadena that features natives and other Mediterranean-climate plants. This garden is not only friendly to people and pets but also serves as a refuge for Pasadena’s native fauna. Birds, bees and butterflies are particularly abundant and can be seen throughout the year. Over the years, the mission of the garden has evolved to include promoting urban wildlife habitat and demonstrating the use of regenerative gardening techniques, which include refraining from the use of herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers.

For this project, we will split into groups and (i) clear invasive plant species from planting beds; (ii) rejuvenate a grassy native meadow area; and (iii) provide care for our small navel orange orchard through lasagna mulching. Arlington uses regenerative techniques and eschews pesticides, herbicides, and "chemical" fertilizers.
