From Our President

Nancy Englund

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, March 2023

Well, shiver my briskets but it is cold and soggy out there! Last week I planted and pruned, and this weekend I was going to fertilize my fruit trees except that Mother Nature clearly wants to keep me in my comfy armchair, reading! By the end of next week I will doubtless have a fine crop of weeds to deal with. However, weeding is one of my favorite garden tasks, so bring them on.

President’s Message, February 2023

It is February again. The most important date is not Valentine’s day on the 14th, but Friday the 10th when we have our yearly Plant and Planter Sale! It is open to the general public so members, hear my call and show us how creative you can be with things that will become containers for beautiful plants.

President’s Message, January 2023

Happy New Year to all of you! Now that the seasonal rush is over it is time to return to our gardens.

President’s Message, December 2022

I hope you all had as wonderful a Thanksgiving week as I did. On Monday, November 21, John Loomis and I were married! Thanksgiving itself was a delight: it is our favorite holiday because it is just about family being together and being grateful for one another.

President’s Message, November 2022

The end of the year is approaching and with it Thanksgiving and all the winter holidays: Hanukkah, Christmas, and Kwanzaa. We are very fortunate to be able to live in Southern California and now is the time to think of those less fortunate.

President’s Message, October 2022

It is hard to believe that we are already in October. I find that the older I get, the faster time seems to pass by. Be that as it may, we are approaching two things: Southern California planting season and the peak of fire year.
