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.
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.
I have so much for which to be grateful. It has been an amazing and wonderful honor serving as your President. Thank you for your support, for the laughter and for your many contributions to our beautiful Laguna Beach Garden Club. It is a special club with the best, warmest and most friendly people.
Congratulations Club Members! As a club, our recovery from Covid seems near complete.
Happy March! Happy Spring! It’s a busy time of year for our club.
Happy February & Happy Valentine’s Day! My wonderful husband Bob has taken me out to dinner every Valentine’s Day since we started dating in 1982. For many years the day came with an amazing bouquet of gorgeous flowers. Since retirement and my interest in gardening, Valentine’s now includes a trip to the nursery and the gift of a special plant or pot or both!!
Happy New Year! It’s a glorious time of year and after so much rain, there are so many flowers and fresh greenery and blue, blue skies. Let us not forget, snow covered mountains. We live in an amazing place.
Happy December!!! I hope you each had a happy Thanksgiving and that you are starting preparations for whatever holiday you celebrate at this time of year.
Grateful is where my heart is this November. Especially when I compare this November to last during the pandemic...
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.
