The Garden Club calendar is blooming
By Denise Stewart
The Scripps-Mesa Garden Club has lined-up a series of speakers and events that will fill its meeting calendar through the growing season.
The club’s next meeting will take place at 6 p.m. in the Community Room of the Scripps Miramar Ranch Library on Feb. 28. Richard Lederer, author and Union-Tribune language columnist, will regale the group with his talk on “Flowery English: How Flowers Got Their Names.”
A presentation by a master gardener on companion planting will be featured at March’s gathering.
Each meeting is a learning event as well as an opportunity to share gardening experiences during a brief social time. The meetings also feature a plant share.
The Garden Club has been on-going in our community for 30 years. Gardening hobbyists are welcome to visit a regular monthly meeting on the fourth Tuesday of each month. A family membership is $30 per year. The dues are used to compensate speakers for their time and expertise.
