Save the date! Monday, May 8, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. at the INDEPENDENCE Center. The SCA Garden Club will assemble at Independence Center at 9:30 a.m. on May 8 for a carpool tour of seven of our members’ gardens, a great opportunity to see first-hand how to grow a wide variety of spectacular plants in the ground, in pots, and even hydroponically in a garage. This will be followed in June by a luncheon catered by Kneaders and a slide show from the tour. 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, we will learn about dangerous plant toxins to keep you and your pets out of the ER and then everything about cycads (popularly but wrongly known as sago palms). All of that and a new website launched in June, filled with useful resources and other benefits for members only. See what you’re missing? There is still time to join/renew and enjoy the benefits of this year’s program.
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. Coffee, tea, and cookies are available from 9:00 a.m. Dues are a bargain at $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!
