It all started in August 2011, when the Pasadena Planning Dept.’s Cultural Arts Division teamed up with Pasadena Power & Water and the Public Works Dept. to consider building a garden through community participation. Nancy Long from Power & Water called G3 to meet a site that was going to host a public art installation, and the artist was keen to have a “rain garden” surrounding the art. Although this first site didn’t gel, eight months later, the Pasadena Sponge Garden at the corners of Union and Catalina Aves. became a reality. Here’s a Plant List: G3 Design Studio Pasadena Rain Garden Plants and Planting Plan: Pasadena Sponge Garden Design 042812 for the garden. Additionally, we’ve included a Hydrozone List: Hydrozones Pasadena Sponge Garden for the plant selection. For more great information about lots of Water Conservation topics, check out Pasadena Power & Water’s website. G3’s looking forward to the next collaboration with the amazing team from the City of Pasadena.
