New website highlights local gardens and activities
The Scripps-Mesa Garden Club, under the direction of Brydon Bennett, has launched a new website featuring events and information about local garden activities.
Scrippsmesagardenclub.com will take you to resources, newsletters, photos and helpful gardening tips.
If you are looking for a learning experience right here on the ranch, check Brydon’s article on the local eucalyptus trees. He has specific destinations, photos and text that will shed a new light on our beautiful trees and create a worthwhile afternoon during this stay alone time.
While meetings are on hold for a while during the pandemic, local gardeners are taking advantage of the extra time and energy they can spend on their hobby. Beyond just getting them off the couch, the gardens are producing healthy foods and lovely flowers for their tables. Gardening can be a positive experience for kids, too, while away from school and their friends.
When the time is right, members of the club will resume meeting at the Scripps Ranch Library Community Room on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6 in the evening. Sometimes they will take a garden tour instead. Look to the website to provide you with details on the Garden Club when it is safe to return to more normal activities.
