On Monday, April 15, nineteen club members carpooled to Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona Del Mar for a guided tour of the beautiful gardens there. Led by very knowledgeable docents, we viewed the eatable gardens, the hothouse gardens, koi-fish pond and swimming turtles, the succulent gardens, and other beautifully arranged flower areas. Other highlights were learning about the history of the gardens and the city of Corona Del Mar, visiting the research library, and seeing the many accumulated rare books, maps and historical items related to Southern California and northern Baja California.
After the tours many members stayed to enjoy a delicious lunch in their Cafe Jardin.
Our next meeting is a tour of three members’ home gardens here in Niguel Shores. We will meet at the Clubhouse at 10:00 a.m. to arrange rides and schedule which homes to visit. After the tour, we will return to the Clubhouse at Noon for lunch outside in the courtyard. Sign-up sheets will be available at that time for our Beach Bluff Party on Monday, June 17.
Finally, please plan to pay your yearly dues for our 2019-20 club year. Early payment will insure that your information is listed in our new yearbook. Club dues for one member are $20.00 and for two household members, $35.00. Payments by check can be put into the club file in the NSCA Office.
Those interested in joining the Garden Club, please leave your name in our file in the Office. Thanks.
