Volunteers help beautify library
The four California-compatible landscaped areas at the La Cañada Flintridge public library were given care Saturday by several volunteers coordinated by La Cañada Valley Beautiful. The group hopes to complete its five “Gardens of the World” library demonstration gardens with the installation of a Western Cape South African garden there this year.
