Eating locally and organically is important, and in Los Angeles we are fortunate to be able to grow delicious, nutritious and organic fresh food year-round.
Join us for “Organic Sundays” – an incredible and stimulating series of organic edible garden workshops every third Sunday of the month held at Milagro Allegro Community Garden in Highland Park.

- Metalworked fence & gates – Keep America Beautiful Grant update!
Last year, in partnership with Keep Los Angeles Beautiful, Milagro Allegro was awarded a $10,000 Keep America Beautiful Grant which we are using to replace our existing chain link fence with a beautiful and artistic metalworked fence and gates.
Keep Los Angeles Beautiful, a local affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, brings public attention to litter prevention, waste reduction and beautification. Keep LA Beautiful aims to promote volunteer cleanup action and beautification to support the Mayor’s goal of making Los Angeles the cleanest and greenest big city in America.
Keep America Beautiful, the nation’s largest community improvement program, involves an estimated 3 million volunteers and attendees who donated more than 6.7 million hours in 2008 to clean, beautify and improve more than 17,000 communities during more than 30,000 events in all 50 states and beyond.
The installation of the fence and gates has started and we invite you to come check out our progress!
