     pasadena beautiful foundation

Since its founding days in 1960, Pasadena Beautiful Foundation has had a focus on community clean up and tree planting. So every year in November we host Pasadena Beautiful Day and coordinate a project with school children, scouting troops, neighborhood associations and city government. Our volunteers join forces with these community groups and roll up our sleeves to beautify an area of the city which may show signs of neglect.

Pasadena Beautiful Day

In 2009 Pasadena Beautiful Day took place on Saturday, February 28th, from 8 to noon. The weather was ideal.
The project, which was to totally redo the Jackie Robinson Center’s gardens, was a challenge due to the number of gardens and the amount of work that was in store.  52 volunteers showed up. Ambassadors group, Flintridge Prep, Westridge, members of the Pasadena Beautiful Board and spouses and City workers.  300 plants and 6 trees were planted beginning at 8. Thanks to all the hard-working volunteers, we were finished at 10:30. Truly amazing teamwork!

The Plant Bank, sponsored by Pasadena Beautiful, at Jackie Robinson Center saw a lot of action. Finch Tree pruned the tree, which offers the Plant Bank a lovely shade canopy, earlier in the week, so undoubtedly that helped entice people to come and take the many plants available.

The different Committees that were vital to the success of this day all did a swell job.  It was a wonderful project, and those at Jackie Robinson Center were very pleased with the outcome.  Many thanks to all those who helped out, both on the day of, and those behind the scenes.
 

November 2007 we planted 4 crape myrtles and  71 shrubs to transform a median full of weeds and dead shrubs into a beautiful little pocket park. at the intersection of Washington and Glen. Two new paths were laid out and a bench by the stop sign will be going up soon. We could not have done it without the City's help.
