Over 80 American Society of Landscape Architect members, friends and colleagues spent Saturday April 16 on a tour of Tongva Park in Santa Monica.  Seeing the park through the eyes of Robert Perry, FASLA, Bob led a two hour tour, focusing on the design richness of the Park, including ideas of species diversity and carbon sequestration.  Bob Perry was the key horticultural consultant on the project, assisting with the planting of native and locally sustainable plant species.
