For the first time ever, members of the Garden Club decorated a golf cart and entered this year’s July 4th Parade! Thanks to the efforts of Janice Stauffer, Margi Eckes, and Nadine Allen, we won Third Place in the Creative Category! YEA!
The club will be donating to Penny Pines in memory of two of our members who have recently passed away: Richard Reese and Ruthy Stahl. Penny Pines helps fund the reforestation of burned areas of our National Forests: the Cleveland National Forest, including the mountain ranges of Santa Ana, Palomar, and Laguna.
We have now replanted the Butterfly Garden located in a planter adjacent to the Clubhouse. We selected flowers September 16 that are attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds: verbena, milkweed, pentas, salvia, cophea (hummingbird’s lunch), core-opsis, and evolvulus.
Our first meeting of the new club year will be on Monday, September 16, at 11:00 a.m, at the Clubhouse. The Garden Club continues to welcome new members. Membership is open to all residents of Niguel Shores. You do not need to be a gardening expert to join. Our meetings are varied and may comprise a speaker, work- shop, garden-related projects or a field trip. Refreshments are served at each meeting. Dues are $25 per person per year, and $5 per guest visit. To join, sign-up forms are in the Niguel Shores office. Any membership questions: call or text Sandi at (253) 290-0471.
