Garden Club Annual Luncheon

The SCA Garden Club met on May 8 for a carpool tour of seven of our members’ gardens. Photos of some truly spectacular plants and flowers seen on the tour will be shown at our meeting on June 12 following a tasty luncheon catered by Kneaders. We will also officially launch our cool new website, chock-full of useful resources and benefits for members only. 

We shelter from the heat in July and August but resume our program on September 11 with a talk on growing herbs by Glenda Bona, Chair of the Herb Committee of the University of Nevada Extension. Come October 9, we will be traveling by coach to the beautiful botanical gardens of the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas. Rounding out the year, in November we will learn about dangerous toxins in plants and the environment to keep you and your pets out of the ER. And then in December you’ll hear everything about cycads (“sago palms”), including their R-rated sex life. Although you may have missed comprehensive talks on drought-tolerant plants, palms, fruit trees, and roses, there is still time to begin or renew membership to enjoy the rest of this year’s fascinating agenda. 

We meet in the Morris/Nelson Rooms of the Independence Center from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on the second Monday of each month. Free coffee, tea, and cookies are available from 9:00 a.m. Dues are a real bargain at only $10/year, payable exactly to: Sun City Anthem Community Assn, Inc. Residents may attend two meetings as guests prior to joining at any meeting. Enrollment forms are also available at the Anthem Center kiosk and on the Club's SCA website and can be placed in the Garden Club mailbox located outside Anthem's Fitness Center along with your check payable as above. We invite you to email any questions about the Club to its president, Dr. Alec Pridgeon (apridg1@gmail.com). Hope to see you at our next meeting!
