On Thursday (6/26), our MYARC cohort continued their water education journey at Arlington Garden in Pasadena, building on the concepts we explored earlier in the week, such as watersheds, bioswales, and other water capture and retention landscape architecture. We also had the special privilege of being guided by Arlington Garden’s very own Garden Educator, Capri Kasai, who shared the garden’s history, design, and positive impact on the local environment, community, and wildlife.This module gave us a firsthand look at how a parking lot transformed into a thriving, water-conserving, and climate-appropriate space. Thanks to Pasadena City’s community engagement efforts, this project was made possible. Today, the garden is sustained and maintained by community members and local volunteers, serving as a replicable model for creating green spaces in other underserved regions of the San Gabriel Valley. Throughout the tour, we learned about native plants, Mediterranean landscapes, and how intentional design helps capture and save water. We also got to try our hand at seed harvesting, weeding, loosening soil, and planting native seeds.We wrapped the day with a greater appreciation for spaces like Arlington Garden that are active examples of sustainability. Huge thank you to the Arlington team for sharing the space and wisdom with us! 🧑‍🌾🧑‍🌾#2025MYARC #MYARC #EnvironmentalJustice #ResilientCommunities #YouthAdvocates #YouthLeadership #Summer2025 #SGV #WaterIsLife #Watershed #WaterConservation #UrbanWatershed #NativePlants #ClimateResilience #EcoGardening #Garden #ArlingtonGarden #Weeding #ExplorePage See MoreSee Less
