Native Green Gardening Coop

6/5/2010 by Gilda Haas - 5 comments


The Native Green Landscaping and Gardening Cooperative, has been organized with the support of the Instituto de Educación Popular del Sur de California (IDEPSCA). The cooperative is comprised of IDEPSCA members, day laborers and household workers, all of whom have completed a green gardening training course and received a certificate in sustainable landscaping from the City of Los Angeles.  Want a to use less water and have a beautiful garden made out of native plants?  Give them a call at: (213) 252-2952 or shoot Raul an email at gro.acspedinull@evronar.  They’ll answer any questions and provide a free consultation.


Native Green’s website, brochure, and business cards were designed and produced by the UCLA Community Scholars team of Brenda Aguilera, Sara Martin, and Alex Stevens.


Here’s a shot of the brochure:

    Hi Tanya:
    are you asking about UCLA Community Scholars? That is a six-month program, generally taught out of the UCLA Downtown Labor Center in MacArthur Park. This coming year’s theme (Jan 2011) is on creating games (Green City Games). Here is a link to the brochure/application:

    We hired Native Green to landscape our front and backyard. Our backyard was unusable but one week into the work, you would never know it’s the same property. Full update in another week, but so far, I fully endorse and recommend Native Green.
