This Plant Feature Friday we're taking a closer look at Globe Mallow. It's a great plant for our arid climate and a vital food source for bees, including the tiny Globe Mallow Chimney Bee.

Adding these native plants to your yard helps support local pollinators. It's also a native medicinal herb. While Globe Mallow can spread easily, you can always harvest any that move into undesired areas. Just make sure to leave enough for the bees!

As we kick off 2025, we're reflecting on an amazing year at our Los Altos Softball Complex!

We hosted 27 tournaments, 765 teams, and more than 11,000 players -- with nearly 75% of teams traveling from out of state. This helped contribute to our growing sports and recreation tourism economy.

We're looking forward to growing this momentum in 2025 🎉🥎
