Garden Club

The Ocean Hills homes area has a club for just about every interest. This week, I will tell you a little about the garden club. First of all, the garden club publishes a bulliten that can be picked up in the Ocean Hills clubhouse. See details below photo.

In July, the garden club had an excellent speaker that explained how to deal with summer pest (the garden kind). If you contact one of the members, I am sure they will share.

In August, the club is going to focus on roses. There are so many kinds a varieties of roses suitable for growing in our zone. The speakers this month were Sue and Dick Streeper. Sue and Dick have been growing roses for over 40 years. They grow about 400 roses of all types in they El Cajon home. Sue has a special fondness for floribundas and climbers fro their stellar performance in the landscape. Their other favorites include Secret, Midas Touch, Ruby Ruby, Lady Elsie May, and Fresh Pink.

In addition to great speakers, the garden club takes outside trips. The next trip will be August 24th to the “Self-Realization Fellowship’s Mediation Gardens” in Encinitas. I have been there and the gardens are truly beautiful. See photo above. The gardens are landscaping masterpieces of botanical soulfulness. There is nature and beauty for everyone. The gardens are set on the edge of a cliff in Encinitas and offer a stunning view of the ocean. The waves crashing below provide theraputic sounds.
