Garden Club: April 2019 News

GARDEN CLUB
You are probably relaxing now as you read this Garden Club article because you just spent the weekend helping your club put on another successful plant sale on Saturday, March 30. For all of you that worked to set up the plants on Friday afternoon, and/or helped during the sale loading plants onto carts for buyers, or helped clean up afterword, I, along with the rest of your club officers, want to express our thanks and appreciation.
I personally want to applaud the co-chairpersons of the sale, Nadine Allen and Francine Stout, for their time and effort to plan with the community and pull-off another successful plant sale.
We also owe thanks to everyone who attended the plant sale and purchased so many of the fresh plants and lovely items available that day. While I cannot report how well we did until all is tallied, I will report on it at a future club meeting.
Speaking of meetings, this month our meeting on April 15 will be a trip to Sherman Gardens on PCH in Corona Del Mar. We will assemble at the Community Center parking lot at 9:45 a.m. for car pools, and we will leave around 10:00 a.m. Upon arrival, we will receive a docent-led tour of the gardens. Members can stay there afterwards for an ala carte lunch at member’s expense ($20–$35 cash only) or travel to make other lunch arrangements. PLEASE NOTE:
This tour is a replacement for the April meeting listed in your club handbook. If you were not at our February meeting to sign up for this tour and want to attend, please email me: kuhna@cox.net by April 6 as we have to give a list of names to Sherman Gardens by April 9. Since the club is paying the entrance fee for all that attend, I’m asking for your due-diligence.
