Planting Seeds: Remembering the L.A. Fires

The Hillside Campus of Pasadena’s ArtCenter College of Design is hosting this morning of reflection to mark the one-year anniversary of the Palisades and Eaton fires. In an act of rebuilding and hope for the future, attendees will help plant poppies on the campus as part of the Great Altadena Poppy Project, which aims to plant 250 million California poppy seeds in areas impacted by the Eaton fire. Our state flower is known for its resilience and its ability to thrive in challenging conditions—a beautifully apt metaphor here. Note: Closed-toe shoes and long pants are recommended if you want to help plant.
