As the great singer Frank Sinatra once crooned, “It Was A Very Good Year”—for the Garden Club. We had many interesting speakers and garden tours to reflect on during the summer. We ended our club year with a potluck luncheon party at the beautiful Beach Bluff with members providing great salads, appetizers and a yummy table of deserts. Bob Borland and Al Glatt grilled both beef and veggie burgers that were delicious! Thanks, Bob and Al. Wine and soft drinks were plentiful accompaniments to the abundant food and fine afternoon. I want to thank my BBQ team for their help in putting on another successful event: Ann Strauss, Melanie Wilcox, Lynn Schwartz, Marti Povire, Marilou Heckman, Carol Kuhn and Robbie Wollin. We are taking a break during July and August, but we start up again in September when our officers will showcase events for the new season. Have a great summer.

P.S. I suggest all Niguel Shores read the following from a recent insert in the Orange County Register: “Pick up your gardening tools—the hobby might boost your health, according to a study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. After following more than 88,000 Americans, age 40 to 85, over 11 years, researchers found that those who participated in low to-medium physical activities (like gardening, etc.) for just 10 to 59 minutes per week lived longer.”
