Calling all members! Come have a great time marching in the City’s annual Patriots’ Day Parade.

Have fun, support the community and help raise awareness of our club and what we do. It’s a wonderful event with 80+ groups marching; half the city is in the parade and the other half is watching! Remember, marching with our club is camaraderie, fun, and all downhill! Check your calendars and sign up at the February meeting.
We will assemble at 10 am in the parking lot opposite Laguna Beach High School, 625 Park Ave. Please be prompt, the parade starts at 11 am, the downhill route is one mile through downtown Laguna Beach, and we will finish at about 1 pm. We suggest wearing comfy shoes, blue jeans, white top, Garden Club apron, and decorated hat with flowers. Bring water, sunblock, tissue, phone if desired, lipstick with color, sun glasses.
Park in a neighborhood to avoid meters. The parade ends at city hall.

Open Gardens Happy Hour
2022-03-25 13:00 - 15:00 UTC | Cathy Bosko Home, 30172 Sonrisa Lane, Laguna Niguel, CA, United States
Members, please join us at the Open Gardens Happy Hour on Friday, March 25 from 1-3 pm in Laguna Niguel.
Cathy Bosko has graciously opened her garden to us. Light snacks and refreshments will be served.
Cathy writes: in 2019, after living in our Laguna home for almost 25 years, we decided sell and rent for a year in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. We had a wonderful adventure and enjoyed our time there and loved the Southern hospitality. In the beginning of 2020, we saw a home listed on Zillow in Laguna Niguel that was just what we had been looking for; so we put in an offer and deposit sight unseen and moved back. It was quite the fixer but because of the pandemic we were unable to remodel as we planned. The yard was a mess and had the original overgrown landscaping from when the house was built 30+ years ago. Everything in the yard was demolished except for the walkway and we started with a clean slate. Luckily we chose wisely and picked a great landscape company after interviewing many. Our yard was transformed into a water wise oasis. We absolutely love looking at it and enjoy our fabulous view.
Open Gardens Happy Hour is a good way to meet new members, discover new ideas for your garden. Participating gardens do not need to be a showpiece and/or perfect. Every garden is unique and has a story to tell, and we are most appreciative to all who that have volunteered their gardens.
For further information and/or to volunteer your garden, please contact Shelby Rigg.
