| SUN CITY CORE COURIER | JULY 2025 | 9
Garden Club
The next meeting of the Garden Club
will be on the third Tuesday of every
month, beginning at 10 am. Sign in, enjoy
refreshments, see our plant table (members
bring cuttings and plants for sale), view the
Treasure Table (donated items are raffled),
and visit with other members. Each meeting
also includes a raffle ticket for door prizes.
Though we don't meet in July and August,
we are busily planning our September to
June year. We have many activities planned,
including touring another local botanical
garden, meeting a beekeeper, hearing from
Master Gardeners, learning about the
benefits of earthworms, experiencing water-
wise gardening, and so much more. Come
join the fun and learn all you can to create a
garden oasis in our desert community.
The home tour was fantastic! One garden
was so green and shaded that it felt like we
were in Oregon. We had so many beautiful
gardens, and they were all new on the tour.
There are so many gorgeous yards that are
drought-tolerant and provide many benefits.
If the heat bothers you, plant a tree; if
water bothers you, plant a tree; if you like
fruits, plant a tree; if you like birds, plant a
tree; and if you like life, plant many trees, or
plant many flowers!
We are all about teaching, learning, and
working together to make our individual
spaces at home as much a paradise as
possible. With drought-tolerant landscaping
(not just cactus!), a yard can be transformed
while using very little water.
Come join our President, Jennifer Lopez;
co-Vice Presidents, Jill Hardy and Valerie
Gibson; and Treasurer, Camille Susca to learn
about the fun things we can do to beautify
our surroundings. ~ Jill Hardy
