HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – At the May 11 meeting of the Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club, Paulette Jasmine will give a presentation that will show you how you can prepare your garden and the exterior of your home to resist the effects of a wildfire event.

She will remind the club that your garden is your first defense against a wildfire engulfing and destroying your home.

It is not a matter of if a major wildfire event will happen here, but a matter of when.

Jasmine will show a 15-minute video and then open up the topic up to discussion. 

Meetings of the Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club are free and open to the public on the second Monday of each month.

They are held in the activities room of the HVL 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.
