Pat Fisher-Smith Welsh ’51 featured in Los Angeles Times

Best-selling author and gardening guru Pat Fisher-Smith Welsh ’51 promotes moving away from over-watered lawns in Southern California to drought-tolerant landscapes. Welsh is quoted in the Los Angeles Times’ front-page section of the May 17, 2015, Sunday edition, from her blog Pat’s Garden Forum. Recalling her family’s move to Los Angeles more than 70 years ago, she writes, “There was something empty and slightly sad about all these abundant gardens with their over-irrigated lawns. Los Angeles didn’t feel real.” Read the entire article here and revisit an article on Welsh’s own garden in the summer 2012 issue of Scripps Magazine.
