Jimmy, Jenn & Jacob
Jimmy, a LA-native, purchased this property in April 2020. The backyard was nothing but cracked concrete and wild weeds, but he saw potential. Over time, he built raised beds, planters, and row crops surrounded by native herbs, fruit trees, and climbing plants. Nearly everything in the garden today is edible or medicinal.
A year later, Jenn and Jacob arrived in Los Angeles from New York and were immediately drawn to the lush greenery and sense of calm in the middle of the city. What began as a simple backyard garden soon became much more. It’s now home to a hand-built wood-fired oven from Portugal, a concrete and brick Argentine grill, and a six-foot-deep BBQ pit that doubles as a fireplace.
Coming from a lineage of hosts and cooks, Jenn and Jacob began gathering friends for dinners and small celebrations, discovering how naturally the space brought people together. Jenn, a DJ at dublab, also loves bringing music into the garden, curating live performances and backyard sets that showcase eclectic talent and foster connection.
Over time, it became clear that this garden was meant to be shared. It has since hosted birthdays, holidays, and countless gatherings, each one adding to its story. We look forward to welcoming you to the garden!
We would like to share a special thank you with our dear friend, Rosie, who captured the garden so beautifully.
