Westchester is a reflection of contemporary L.A., with a touch of mid-century charm. It sits on the edge of booming Silicon Beach, is home to a revamped LAX, and includes two of the city’s top schools – Otis College and Loyola Marymount University. As businesses continue to move to the westside, it gives a new generation the chance to discover this previously under-the-radar area. It’s a great time to get to know this eclectic, family-friendly neighborhood.

This volunteer-run garden gives back to the community in many ways. Located on the campus of Orville Wright Middle School, it operates after school hours and on weekends. In addition to granting local residents their very own plot to tend, they offer public programs including guided meditations, senior tours, summer outdoor movies, and regular storytime hour for kids in the garden. You can also find them at their booth at the Wednesday Westchester Farmers' Market.
