HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – The Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club will hold its next meeting on Monday, March 11.

All are welcome to the meeting, which takes place in the activity room in the Hidden Valley Lake Administration building, 18174 Hidden Valley Road, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

For all of you who have put spade to soil in Lake County, you will understand the appeal of container gardening.

This is not to discourage anyone from the very satisfying work of transforming clay and rock into a garden oasis, but rather to offer a temporary or permanent alternative to that endeavor.

Last year Zia Wesley of Hidden Valley Lake built a container vegetable garden under her deck. Her goal was to supply her family with fresh organic veggies for the year.

On Monday, March 11, she will share that experience with garden club members and guests and teach us her methods for growing vegetables in containers.

Elisabeth Moores, also of Hidden Valley Lake has an enviable rose garden in containers on her multiple decks.

She plans to transplant these to her yard when the ground has been suitably enriched and the yard fenced.

Moores specializes in floral design and everyone acknowledges her very gifted green thumb. She will teach how to beautify homes with flower gardens in containers.

The meetings begin with a social with complimentary refreshments followed by a brief business meeting and our speakers.
