| | | | | | An unprecedented 23 new members will be welcomed in to the Moraga Garden Club's first meeting of the year on September 15. Held at the Holy Trinity Cultural Center on School St. in Moraga, attendees will be treated to a demonstration of floral arranging by Kren Rasmussen of Bloomsters in San Jose.
The new members will join others in the Club in civic beautification projects, enjoying horticultural presentations, excursions, workshops, and social activities. Meetings are held on the third Thursday of the month at 10:00 a.m. The Club's new president, Mardi Potts, is enthusiastic about plans for the new year which include mass daffodil planting, garden study meetings, partnerships with local schools, tending our community gardens, the highly anticipated Spring Salad Luncheon, and the traditional Holiday Luncheon.
We grow dahlias the size of dinner plates, unbelievable squashes, learn how to care for roses and other plants, propagate succulents, tame pests in the garden and, perhaps best of all, make new friends. Those interested in any aspect of gardening are welcome to join us at the meeting. Please call Marcia at 376-3296 for more information.
Board members for the 2011-2012 year include Judy Ayres, Hollace Gertmenian, Wendy Neilsen, Marilyn Smith, Joan Cole, Janet Grant, Margard Egeland, Lucille Zammitti, Jean Roberts, and Joan Webb.
