Local Man Named to County Gardens Panel
Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky has appointed an Agoura Hills man to the Board of Governors of the county’s arboretums and botanic gardens.

The 15-member Board of Governors advises the Board of Supervisors and the director of the Department of Parks and Recreation on management of the county’s arboretums and botanic gardens.
The gardens include South Coast Botanic Gardens on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Virginia Robinson Gardens in Beverly Hills and Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge.
