From Our President
Nancy Englund and
Mary Sanchez
Every month, the President of the Board heads our general meeting and leads off with a personal message. The monthly President’s Message provides insight into the vision and goals of our club leader, who guides the organization for two terms.
The message is always informational and often inspirational, and we publish them here throughout the year.
Come to one of our regular meetings to hear the President’s Message in person! Meetings are held on the second Friday of the month, September – May, at 9:30 am in Laguna Presbyterian Church, Tankersley Hall, 415 Forest Avenue.
President’s Message, November 2021
Grateful is where my heart is this November. Especially when I compare this November to last during the pandemic...
President’s Message, October 2021
October is a fun month and a favorite for me. It’s a great planting season and a transition time in our gardens. I find it so interesting how life in our gardens is so like our own lives. We pick the plants we love much as we pick friends and close family members.
President’s Message, September 2021
Was your summer fun and exciting? I hope your travels were delightful, and your celebrations full of joy. If you had health scares, I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and are resting and enjoying life as best as is possible.
President’s Message, May 2021
Happy May. May is a wonderful exciting month for our club. The Gate & Garden Tour will already be over by the time you read this and I know it will have been glorious. (It was!) At this time our ticket sales are over 625. I hope many of you purchased tickets and volunteered as well. I did both and I loved seeing so many of you there!
President’s Message, April 2021
Spring flowers are everywhere. I so much enjoy the variety of shapes and sizes, aromas and colors. This is one of the many joys of being a gardener. We get to choose what to plant and how to arrange the plants and then, the shopping. I might love the shopping most of all, especially with a friend!
President’s Message, March 2021
Welcome to March, the month when we look forward to daylight savings time and the start of spring. I feel so lucky to live in Southern California where the flowers never stop blooming and our winters are mild. I’ve been spending an hour a day planting and cleaning up the garden in front of my home. One of my favorite native plants is a Dudleya that I’m growing. It is a beautiful bluish-green succulent that loves sunshine and is ready to bloom flowers soon!
