Nestled in a rustic canyon with a winding road on the eastern edge of Bel Air, Beverly Glen is a close-knit community of 600 residents. Although it sits squarely in the middle of Los Angeles -- one of the nation’s busiest urban centers -- here you feel as though you’re away from it all. As a cool breeze stirs the air and sycamores whisper back, you may see a doe and fawn high on a woodsy hillside. On a starry night you can feel the stillness usually experienced in a dense forest. You may wave to a neighbor, someone you’ve known for years on a first-name basis. A resident’s association, a community center, annual social activities, charming homes and gardens, convenient markets and stores and friendly neighbors -- Beverly Glen may be the ideal community.

1.       David May at 2519 Perdido Lane

There are approximately 5 acres of orchards, cactus, and lush grounds all at the end
of Perdido Lane. David has been a part of the Glen Garden Walk for several
years and will provide us with information on the history and development of
his labor of love. There will be an opportunity at the end of the presentation totake a 30 minute round trip hike up to the ridge
that overlooks Stone Canyon Reservoir. David has kindly requested that cars are
parked on Beverly Glen Blvd or Lower Perdido Lane

2.       Mary Morlas at 10211 Seabury Lane

An English country enchanted garden awaits on Seabury Lane. This
property boasts multiple ponds, azaleas, camellias, wisteria, lavender, roses
and a storybook bridge. There are even a few deer and a duck enjoying the
landscaping. This piece of paradise is to be enjoyed and not missed.

 

3.       Deralee Scanlon at 1818 N Beverly Glen Blvd

Deralee has had a busy year replanting her backyard to be showcased in the Glen Garden
Walk.There are a variety of interesting plants from Grevillea for hummingbirds, two dwarf purple
butterfly bushes, blue hydrangea, Japanese toad lilies, burgundy lace ferns,
pink clematis, bearded iris, red & melon colored day lilies, a lilac tree,
pink magnolia tree, hillside & creeping lantana, and various fruit trees.
Deralee will be offering refreshments in the form of organic carrot, beet,
celery, kale & ginger root combination vegetable juices, organic flax
crackers and organic Montmorency dried tart cherries that have been sweetened
with apple juice.

 

4.       Eric and Sharalee Flesche at 1665 N Beverly Glen Blvd

This slice of Beverly Glen has been maxed out with beautiful
landscaping of assorted styles and colors. Tiers of flowers & greenery excite
the eye as you wander through the different levels enjoying the sounds of the
waterfalls along the way. Hummus and olive tapenade cups and beverages will be
offered.

5.       Barton Phelps  and Karen Simonsen’s Arroyo House at Crater Lane

Wait until you see it now! Barton and Karen’s  Arroyo House now functions as a portal to an
expanded holding of two acres where terracing and runoff controls have allowed
creation of a sequence of outdoor spaces each supporting specific seasonal use.
From the “Landing Pad” at the top to the Citrus Patio below the
house, the gardens fall 130 feet. A small vineyard produces Cabernet Franc and
Sauvignon Blanc grapes for estate bottled winemaking.

Thank you for participating and enjoying all of the nature that The Glen has to offer, Sharalee Flesche, Social Chair.

Coldwater Canyon 30-day Closure

0

Posted by Traffic | Posted in Traffic | Posted on 03-21-2013

LADWP reminds city residents and businesses that construction will start this Saturday on the replacement of a portion of the City Trunk Line, a 60-inch diameter pipeline that runs along Coldwater Canyon Avenue between Mulholland Drive and Ventura Boulevard, necessitating closure of the major thoroughfare from March 23-April 25.

The closure is necessary to allow the full use of the street for construction equipment and crews. LADWP is replacing the 99-year old pipe in sections with new welded steel pipe as part of an ongoing citywide upgrade to major pipelines in order to ensure reliable service and to comply with federal water quality regulations.

The closure will begin Saturday, March 23, and continue through Thursday, April 25. The hours of closure are Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.  After 7 p.m. each night, 6 p.m. on Saturdays, and all day Sunday, one lane will be open for traffic in each direction. 

Beverly Glen residents should anticipate additional traffic during the time of the closure of Coldwater Canyon.  For those residents newly commuting through Beverly Glen, please remember that we are a residential community, in addition to a commuting thoroughfare.
