Reynier Village HOME & GARDEN is a collaboration between two friends who live in Reynier Village. We celebrate the beauty that is in our community, and we’re interested in gardens, fresh food you can grow, eco-friendly energy solutions, preserving original architecture and great neighborhood businesses.
The Reynier Village boundary in Los Angeles, CA is Cadillac Avenue on the north, Holt Avenue on the east, Cattaraugus Avenue on the south and Robertson Boulevard on the west.
It is truly amazing to see how many of the 1930s Spanish facades have been lovingly preserved, how varied are the color schemes, how much care has been lavished on beautiful flower and plant arrangements. It makes you wonder what’s behind all that beauty in those hidden backyards. We know that some neighbors are growing organic fruits and vegetables. We hope that you’re considering collecting water in rain barrels, installing solar panels or wind turbines to be energy-independent and feed back electricity to the city.
We are your neighbors (Elisa Leonelli and Deni Mosser). Please tell us about your home and garden and if you would like to be featured in this publication or have a recommendation for a neighborhood business. You may email us at Reynier Village. We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi – nothing to contribute yet (but hope to in future) BUT, am I the only one who isn’t getting the pictures? The only pix I can see are the two 5/12 comments. The others are all words around a white spot where the photo should be. I only have email at work so it may be our security but it would seem weird that all the rest are visible. Any thoughts or suggestions? Do I need to do anything special to get the pix to show up? Thanks!
(the whole blog, btw, is a great idea! thanks for setting it up!)

Hello neighbor!
Thanks for your comment and for checking out our new blog.
Please let us know what else you would like to see featured.
Sorry about the pictures not showing up.
I realize you may not be able to do this, if you only use the Internet at work, but you should upgrade to a later version of your computer browser.
I would download Firefox, it’s free and the most versatile

Great site! Brings attention to some very underrated and underrepresented architectural styles. Keep up the good work!
