In partnership with the Tree People, Farmings Future distributes trees into the community during January and early February.  Our workshop programs have become popular so please let us know as early as you can if you would like a workshop or lesson conducted at your school site, home, garden club, Tu  B'Shevat event or actually any where during this season.   The trees are typically bare root; however, beginning 2009, the Tree People and Farmings Future began distributing quartets, four mature trees planted into a two by two foot container.  We would like to see the quartet program grow (pun intended) throughout the entire southern California population and the container boxes are especially pratical for families with little or no land, apartment dwellers or small patios.

Many of you have asked to volunteer with this program.  We really need help on delivery dates so if you have a truck or a big trunk in your car, that would be helpful.  We also need volunteers to prune (we'll show you how, just bring your shears and gloves) and some strong arms to lug sacks of soils and from time to time mix soil amendments.  Please contact us whenever you have some time....We'll put you to work immediately :) 

The Bolton Hall Project is a sustainable, interactive and symbiotic relationship between Mount Gleason Middle School, Verdugo Hills High School, various commercial and individual community members and The Bolton Hall Museum / Little Landers Historical Society (LLHS). The major fund raising event for Bolton Hall, conducted by Little Landers Historical Society, is a community wide, very popular, plant sale - held each year in April.

Some background:  In 1962, Bolton Hall was named Los Angeles City Historical Monument Number Two (the Leonis Adobe in Calabasas is site number one). The Little Landers Historical Society vigorously worked to save Bolton Hall from demolition in 1959 and has been successful maintaining its restoration and oversight since.  During restorative work, the interior of the building was kept as near to the original rock construction as possible while so me safety changes were made as required. Bolton Hall is the archival home for artifacts of local history and research materials and currently presents popular exhibitions and events throughout the year. Informed docents lead visitors through the large meeting hall continuing the fun activities of community enrichment that the Little Landers of 1913 envisioned.
