The Cochran Ave/Cloverdale Block Club coordinated an event with CD 10 to enhance the Rock Garden that was installed  last year. The Rock Garden is located on Cochran Ave where Pickford dead ends into the Ballona Creek basin. The project was lead
by Valaida Gory, block club captain and regional representative for region 8 in the Mid-City Neighborhood Council (MINC). The idea was to enhance the area adjacent to the Ballona Creek and deter some of  the negative activity that had begun to surface. The Rock Garden is funded by Mid City Neighborhood Council and designed and installed by Northeast Trees.
This recent event was to spread mulch over the area behind the Rock Garden to prevent or at least slow down the growth of weeds in the area. The Clean and Green Crews provided by CD 10 did an excellent job of cleaning the area, preparing the tarp, moving and spreading the mulch to the designated areas. The mulch is free from the city of Los Angeles. It was a collaborative community effort and quite a success.
