Organic Gardening in Los Angeles with John Lyons

Serving you with personal customized garden design, maintenance and cultivation.

 

John Lyons hails from western Ireland. Raised on his family’s farm, John’s mother was a keen gardener and all five of her children are now mad gardeners – from Canberra, to Genova, to Galway, London, and Los Angeles.

For a decade now, John has been immersed in California horticulture and has a particular fondness for California native plants and water-wise gardening. An avid practitioner of organic garden cultivation, he has a reputation for his passion and zeal which produce spectacular results.

“I do all the specialized work in person.  I make all my own soil amendments and fertilizers using compost, vermicast and seaweed using strict organic practices.” — J. Lyons
