HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – The public is invited to the meeting of the Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club on Monday, March 10.

Gabriele O'Neil will be speaking on vegetable gardening in Hidden Valley Lake and how to adapt to less-than-ideal growing situations.

She is sharing from her nine years of experience growing vegetables in this area, as well as from the research and experience of colleagues gardening in this and similar environments.

The focus of her talk will be on what crops are most likely to be successful and when, how to deal with bad soil or no soil, adapting to Lake County climate extremes and pest protection for the kind-hearted.

Meetings of the Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club take place on the second Monday of each month, and are free and open to the public. They are held in the activities room of the Hidden Valley Lake Association administration building, 18174 Hidden Valley Road.

A social gathering with refreshments begins at 9:30 a.m., followed by a business meeting and program at 10 a.m.
