On Sat April 19, 2003 PNA volunteers gathered at Eddie's Market at the corner of Pico Blvd & 20th St to paint and plant a parking lot wall noted for its graffiti tags and patched paint.

In an hour and a half the 50ft wall went from 3 shades of yellow and gray to a brick red-brown with creeping fig vines planted in wells cut into the asphalt. The vines will cling to the wall deterring grafitti and provide a landscape element to the up-to-now plantless parking lot.

Plants were purchased with money PNA received from a City of Santa Monica Neighborhood Matching Fund Grant. Special thanks to City Maintenance Manager, Kim Braun who was generous in supplying the paint through the Adopt-A-Block program.
