The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway. – Michael Pollan (2007) ‘Second Nature: A Gardener’s Education’

Happy New Year to All! The Garden Club finished 2021 with its Annual Holiday Luncheon and Fashion Show in December. As always, this event is a favorite. Thank you to all who participated — especially our OHCC models!

The Club will have a table at Do Dues Day on January 8 where you can learn more about the Club and our plans for 2022. Dues are $10 for the year. You can also drop your check off in the Garden Club envelope at the Front Desk any time. We are planning another year of informative programs on various garden related topics as well as many other activities.

Remember — the Garden Club meetings are every month on the 2nd Wednesday in Abravanel Hall. Our speaker for the January 8 meeting is Pat Flanagan, the owner and CEO of the Butterfly Farm in Encinitas. The Butterfly Farm is a non-profit established in 2012 dedicated to education and research of the Monarch butterfly. Pat will speak about the importance of conserving native butterflies and their habitats. He has been helpful to our new Butterfly interest group here in Ocean Hills. The doors open at 9:30 with coffee and goodies, and the program begins at 10:00am. All residents & guests are welcome.
