Vice President’s Message, April 2023
Spring has sprung, the rain has stopped (for now 😊 ) and the pollinators are pollinating! How do I know the pollinators are active? I see them and hear them buzzing around my garden and had a personal encounter with one.
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.
Jan 2023 Green Thumb, Planting Shells and Drilling Holes

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.
President’s Message, September 2022
Welcome back to our 94th year of operation! After the privations of CoVid, we have come roaring back with our most successful Gate and Garden Tour ever. We have made donations to multiple organizations in town, some of which include the replanting and maintenance of The Presbyterian Church rose garden, a vegetable garden for the residents of Glenwood House, and a pollinator garden in Bluebird Canyon Park.
