The ever-popular Norm Schilling, president of Schilling Horticulture and the nursery Mojave Bloom, will speak to us again in March, this time on plants that can beat the heat. Landscapes across southern Nevada were decimated by last summer's temperatures and high UV radiation, so we're all wondering how to save or replace damaged plants. Norm, also a podcaster for the program "Desert Bloom" on Nevada Public Radio, has lots of solutions.
We meet in the Penn/Morris/Nelson Rooms of the Independence Center from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on the second Monday of each month except July and August. Free coffee, tea, and cookies are available from 9:00 a.m. Sun City residents are welcome to attend two meetings/year without joining. Dues for 2025 remain $15; checks may be made payable exactly to: Sun City Anthem Community Association, Inc. with “Garden Club’ on the memo line. Enrollment forms are also available at the Anthem Center kiosk and on our website (https://garden.scaclub.org) and can be placed in the Garden Club mailbox located outside Anthem's Fitness Center along with your check payable as above. Feel free to email any questions about the Club to its president, Dr. Alec Pridgeon (apridg1@gmail.com).
