When Eric Augusztiny purchased his West Hills home in 1996, his front yard looked like many others on the street with a Bermuda grass lawn, assorted shrubs and an apricot tree. It was difficult to keep the lawn alive in a neighborhood where temperatures reached triple digits. So he chose to educate himself and tore out the lawn himself. Today, the former lawn is a thriving ecosystem filled with climate appropriate plants. I’ve never seen so much wildlife in a front yard! Read how he did it via link in bio. Photos: Myung J.

It’s great to see @bauerpottery, a colorful L.A. institution, back in a beautiful new showroom in Frogtown. Check out their new space, Fridays-Sundays from 10-5, at 1767 Blake Avenue. They even have parking! taken in Frogtown by @lisaboone99

Second wedding in two weeks that was rained out. I’m told rain is good luck on your wedding day, but Ruby and Hugh won’t need it. They are blessed with an extensive community of friends and family who love them and are willing to do anything for them. Anything except fly Air Canada again. 😝 Congrats to Ruby and Hugh. We love you. taken in Ottawa Capital Of Canada by @lisaboone99

Had fun seeing how artists and gallerists Adam Miller and Devon Oder of @thepitla have transformed a one-bedroom cabin in Yucca Valley into an art-filled family escape. Story via link in bio. Photos: @lance.gerber taken in Yucca Valley, California by @lisaboone99

Architect Cameron McNall transformed his garage into a 500-square foot ADU in Mar Vista and is now renting it — along with his main house — and is traveling the world for a year. While many were impressed at the thought of being a carefree nomad, my favorite comment came from a friend: “I want to be the surfer.” Story via link in bio.

Interviewing peopke like Sophie Pennes of @urbanfarmsla gives me hope for the future. She helped Katie Cordeal and Kyle Anido tear out their thirsty lawn and replace it with a blooming habitat of climate appropriate plants. The switch has helped the family cut their water bill by 90%.

Congratulations to my niece Olivia and her husband Erik. Thanks for reminding me that life is sweet (and funny). Felt so good to celebrate with our family in Minneapolis. We spotted an eagle on our walk the next morning. Must be a good omen. ❤️ taken in Jax Cafe by @lisaboone99

With limited land for green space in Los Angeles, many people are growing flowers for sale in surprising places — under power lines and in their front and backyards.

Over the last 11 months, Kathleen Ferguson has built a colorful farm on a half-acre lot of land offered by a friend whom she met volunteering at North Central Animal Shelter in L.A.

“Just being able to walk outside and see monarch butterflies and bees flying around my backyard is amazing,” Dalan Musson said. “It makes me feel viscerally connected to the natural world.”

Loved these dreamy still lifes by California artist Bella Foster at @thepitla. Definitely worth a trip to Atwater. Through June 1. taken in Atwater Village by @lisaboone99

“People are good,” says L.A. landscape designer Kathleen Ferguson of the friend who offered her his vacant lot in Eagle Rock. It’s now a thriving flower farm flooded with blooms, butterflies and bees. I’m so glad I got to meet her and share a “win-win” L.A. story.
