Native Plants, Kirk Park, LG Creek Trail

Thank you to everyone who joined us at last Tuesday’s meeting to hear updates from City, County, and Police Department representatives, and to enjoy a terrific presentation on the importance of Native Plants — including how to get started in your own yard. Congratulations to Kathy Kleinsteiber and Sam Lum, recipients of WGNA Appreciation Awards, in recognition of their exceptional work beautifying our neighborhood. Read more below about what they’ve done — and where you can see their work in person! Continue reading

Steward of Los Gatos Creek Trail

Sam Lum, President of Hamilton Place Neighborhood Association, is a man who gets things done! He coordinated with all the agencies responsible for the Los Gatos Creek and Trail between Meridian and Bascom. He got encampments abated, signs posted, organized a cleanup for the creek, and is trying for find funding for regular bike patrols to keep the creek and trails clean and safe. Thank you for your advocacy, and for keeping the trail clean and safe Sam!

Steward of Kirk Park

in 2022, Kathy Kleinsteiber took the initiative to reach out to the city and get permission to start a little pollinator garden, which has grown and grown to encompass the whole northwest edge of Kirk Park! If you haven't yet, be sure to take a leisurely stroll through the Kirk Park Native Plant Pollinator Garden, enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers, and wonder at all the bees and butterflies. She and other volunteers are out there tending to the garden most Wednesday and Saturday mornings in, case you want to help her do some weeding, or just stop by to thank her for adding such beauty to our neighborhood and an important habitat for our much needed pollinators!  

We've Been Busy!

Willow Glen Neighborhood Association has been busy! Check out what we've been up to, read important information about SB 79, and plan to attend our next meeting to learn about Native Plants this Tuesday. Come say hi to us on Lincoln Ave during VivaCalleSJ on Sunday too! Continue reading
