WATER-WISE LANDSCAPING 
TOPIC OF 
NOVEMBER GARDEN 
CLUB MEETING

 Jorge Pena, owner of Mama 
Mountain Landscapes, Inc., is 
known for designing and implementing 
unusual, drought-tolerant 
landscapes that add function 
and artistic value to a site. 
Dedicated to educating residents 
about creative ways to beautify 
spaces while reducing maintenance 
costs and water consumption, 
Jorge will discuss the benefits 
of water conservation in the 
landscape and how to implement 
it. Since plant selection is so important 
to this type of gardening, 
Jorge will bring examples of his 
favorite flora and distribute information 
about the local nurseries 
that carry them.

 Mama Mountain Landscapes, 
Inc., grew from a local landscape 
company based in Sierra Madre 
to a regional business serving the 
greater Los Angles area. Specializing 
in drought-tolerant landscapes, 
the company uses the latest 
products and plant varieties to 
create living works of art including 
hardscaping and water features. 
Jorge is looking forward to 
answering our questions and has 
experience in landscape design 
and construction, hillside restoration, 
erosion control, grading and 
drainage. Examples of his work 
can be seen at: www.mamamountain.
com.

 Anyone interested in water-wise 
landscaping or gardening in general 
is invited to attend the November 
12 meeting of the Sierra 
Madre Garden Club. Dinner begins 
at 6:30 p.m., followed by the 
program at 7:15 p.m. The catered 
dinner is $9 and reservations for 
dinner must be made by November 
8, at 626-836-4945. There is 
no charge for attending only the 
program. Location: Hart Park
