OHCC GARDEN CLUB

NEW:  A Pumpkin Workshop will be held on Saturday, October 26. See details by clicking on the button above.  Deadline to register is October 11.

Many OHCC households have yards on the smaller size and think there’s not much they can do with them. Come to our September meeting and learn how small yards are perfect for turning a small corner or patio into a hummingbird and songbird oasis. As an added benefit, you will have a front seat when these birds come to visit. Whether it’s in a container or growing native plants, or both, you will learn how to turn your yard into a birding paradise.

Silvia Slemmer, Owner of Wild Birds Unlimited in Carlsbad, will give us an in-depth presentation of "Attracting Hummingbirds And Song Birds To Your Garden." She is an avid birder and will show us how to bring people and nature together. Her store carries Bird Food, Feeders, Garden Accents and Unique Gifts. They bring the Joy of Bird Feeding to your yards.

Silvia has owned the store for 13 years. She used to visit the store 2 – 3 times per week and would ask the previous owners if they had anything new. “Silvia, you were here two days ago, so no, we don’t have anything new.” Well, she had to buy the store!

The September 11 meeting will be held in Abravanel Hall. Refreshments and social time starts at 9:30 am and the meeting begins at 10 am. If you have any excess plants or cuttings to share, please leave them at the table at the side entrance and feel free to take what you need.
