The Forest Hills
Garden Club was organized in 1998 by a group of women with a
shared interest in gardening. The organization is not formal
and does not elect officers, but the following members
assist in planning meetings and programs, and may be
contacted regarding membership:
MEMBERSHIP AND DUES
We collect dues of $25.00 each year. This money is
used to maintain the garden triangle at the corner of
Whittier and Santa Clara, designed by members and planted in
the spring of 2000. Our membership is open to anyone who
enjoys gardening. We choose a yard of the month several
times a year to honor the efforts of our neighbors to keep
our community beautiful.
GARDEN CLUB MEETINGS
We meet on the second Thursday of the month in homes in the
neighborhood. Day and evening meetings are alternated. We do
not meet in July, August or December. Evening
meetings are from 7 - 9 and day meetings are from 10:00 -
12:00. Topics are
varied and have included discussions on shade gardening,
tree health, herbs, yoga for gardeners, landscaping, caring
for orchids, etc. We also plan field trips that pertain to
gardening.
