Last August, I started working with City Plants, Save the Drop, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power on a series of short videos promoting an exciting initiative - sending a free tree to any resident of Los Angeles who wanted one. The service delivered one free tree to your door, and some key components to get started in planting it yourself. The videos were designed to introduce citizens to the initiative, and to show just how easy it can be to plant a tree in your backyard.
There's information on how to grow your tree tall and strong for years to come.
We even examine how trees fare much better in a drought than a lawn, consuming less water and providing a significant benefit to any homeowner.
I'm excited to have been a part of this project, and glad that programs like City Plants exist to help bring shade (and fruit) to communities in LA that need it the most.

I also made versions of all three videos in Spanish! Check them out here!
