I really do too! But they made sure to tell us, it grows where dogs pee (no thank you!). Sadly, I wasn’t able to grow the seeds given to us due to time constraints.

I love @SamoFund & @SantaMonicaMtns They host classes about native plants like this! You get to see and learn about these plants & where to find them…they also gave us seeds because Minors Lettuce likes to grow where wildlife lives…and pees…especially dogs on the trail…

This is not a current photo. On either side of it is highly flammable, 4’-5’ high, bone-dry yellow brush. It’s a historic wildfire path from Simi Valley to Malibu. It should be a felony to ever have vegetation on that bridge.

Catch some sun and soak up that vitamin D. People who spend at least one hour outside daily are more likely to stay content, healthy, and happy. We’ll keep the park ready for you. All you need to do is show up.
