The Long Beach Chapter, with the assistance of Paul Herzog, OFG Program Coordinator, has transformed several gardens in the city based on the principals of CPR, Conservation, Permeability and Retention and here's the latest evidence of what happened when volunteers, city officials and Surfrider worked together on Josh and Chelseas garden .
