Tuesday Night Social By Joyce Hansen Petal Pushers Garden Club By Lauren Tyson, 951-226-4038 Who among us has not occasionally felt weary or alone these days? Thankfully, Nature is ever-present to soothe our souls and lift our hearts — and it is right outside our doorstep. Springtime is the season of renewal and the perfect time for improvements, large or small, to your outdoor spaces. The upcoming Colony Garden Tour presented by the Petal Pushers Garden Club is a clever way to get ideas to enhance your environment with plants, a succulent collection, a patio cover, fountains, solar lights, wind chimes, fencing, exterior art or curiosities. Date: Saturday, May 14, 11 am to 3 pm You can take part in this fun event by: 1. Putting your home on the tour. It does not matter if you display your entire yard, a special plant or collection, or an object of art. Someone will be interested! Visitors do not go into your home. You may wish to be available to answer visitors' questions or not — either is fine. 2. Attending the tour. Be at the Clubhouse Library at 10:30 am to pick up your map of homes, along with a flyer describing the yards and points of interest. 3. Being a greeter. If you would like to be a greeter at a home or help with organizing, we would appreciate your help. For more information, contact Brenda Sindorf at 698-7097 dancerone@verizon.net or Gloria Brosky at 714-292-8507 gabroksy@ att.net. You have to believe that buds will grow, Believe in the grass in days of snow. That's the reason a bird can sing, On his darkest day, he believes in Spring. – Douglas Malloch Fred Renzoni will be here on Wednesday, May 18, to present some of the fine wines of Robert Renzoni Vineyards.

This pretty perennial blooms in summer and often until fall, is modest maintenance, heat and drought tolerant.
