There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to gardening for climate resilience, so take what makes sense for you, your home, and your community and leave the rest!

Indigenous communities have expertly tended and stewarded California's plants and places for millennia. These practices underscore an intimate understanding of and fundamental love for California’s ecosystems. The impacts of colonialism continue in attempts to marginalize and erase these living legacies. Despite this, traditional ecological knowledge and practices continue to be vital. CNPS acknowledges and honors the profound relationships that California Indigenous groups continue to have with the land. This Indigenous Peoples' Day, take time to learn about the first and ever-present caretakers of the land where you live. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Starting points: ⠀
⠀
Learn the name(s) of the tribal lands you live on https://native-land.ca/ and reflect on the relationships and living legacies that these communities have with the local environment. ⠀
⠀
⠀
Watch the KCET Tending the Wild documentary series that shares the profound environmental knowledge and ongoing stewardship practices of California Indigenous people and communities. https://www.kcet.org/shows/tending-the-wild⠀
⠀
⠀
Read Waa’aka’: The Bird Who Fell in Love with the Sun, by Cindi Alvitre with illustrations by Carly Lake, and try this Kids’ Corner accompanying activity. https://bit.ly/bloomingtales-i⠀

Why do we need every neighborhood to look like the one on the right? Because...

🌳 Trees keep residents healthy. Fewer trees mean more heat-related illnesses. Approximately 1,200 heat-related deaths and countless heat-related illnesses are prevented because of trees each year. Trees across the U.S. also absorb 17.4 million tons of air pollutants, preventing 670,000 cases of asthma and other acute respiratory symptoms annually.
🌳 Trees give us jobs. By creating Tree Equity (trees in every part of every city) in cities across the U.S., we'd be creating and supporting at least 228,000 jobs annually.
🌳 Trees save us money. Nationwide in the U.S., trees reduce energy use for heating and cooling by 7.2%, on average.
🌳 Trees can slow climate change. By bringing Tree Equity to cities, trees can store nearly 1 billion metric tons of carbon.

Join @fruitstitute, an L.A. fruit tree service, for a citrus-pruning workshop in the @arlingtonpasadena citrus grove, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. this Sunday. 🍋🍊🍋🍊

This is the last of the season’s pruning workshops at Arlington Garden, a water-wise habitat garden in Pasadena that uses regenerative gardening techniques to nourish the soil with compost and other organic materials. Participants will learn about the seasonal care of citrus trees, followed by two to three hours of hands-on pruning experience.

Come prepared with hats, sunscreen, water and clothes appropriate for getting dirty. The workshop, which will happen at 275 Arlington Drive, is not suitable for children. $50, register online at eventbrite.com (📸: @fruitstitute)
