KARA'S KORNER | THE COLONY NEWS | APRIL 2021 | 21 By Jane Payne, (909) 455-2253 Do you enjoy growing succulents? The Temecula Valley Garden Club invites you to a free Zoom presentation on Tuesday, April 13 at 10 am to hear Debra Lee Baldwin, widely known as the "Queen of Succulents." She delights in sharing news, ideas, tips and destinations that celebrate gardening and the joy of succulents. Debra spreads the word about "plants that drink responsibly" via all types of media: TV, radio, social media, podcasts and her YouTube videos with over 6,000,000 views. She is the award- winning garden photojournalist who launched global interest in succulents with her first edition of Designing with Succulents book. Sponsored by the TVGC, this Zoom presentation is free and open to Colony residents. Due to the popularity of this program, I have a limited number of reservations for our residents. If you are interested in participating, please email me at janepayne3@ verizon.net. I will distribute the reservations on a first-come, first-served basis. Free Succulent Presentation on Zoom Hello, Colony residents! Spring is here and it's time to start planning and planting our gardens. I have an abundance of vegetable seeds and I would love to share them with you. Some of these seeds I have collected from my own garden and some come from my LARGE collection of seeds. There are 30 seed kits, all of which include over 15 varieties of organic veggie seed (for beginners AND experienced gardeners). If you would like to pick up a seed kit, please reach out to our Activities Director, Kara Hardy, at (951) 677-0541 or email kara.hardy@associa. us while supplies last.
