The site that’s now Pasadena’s beloved Arlington Garden? That could have very likely been a freeway.
Once upon a time, a grand 50-room mansion known as Durand House was demolished after 1964 so Caltrans could extend the 710 Freeway. When community opposition halted that project, the 3-acre lot of compacted dirt stood vacant until 2005. That’s when the garden’s founders, Betty and Charles McKenney, worked with Pasadena officials to create a public, water-wise Mediterranean-style garden.
Its designers used organic and regenerative growing techniques such as leaving leaf litter on the ground to help build up the depleted soil.
