Bill Denton to share tips

The next Garden Club meeting will be on May 16 in Clubhouse 2 at 1:30 p.m. Bill Denton, an avid gardener, will share his gardening experience, insights and expertise. He says he finds Leisure World, with its perfect climate, a great place for anyone who loves gardening.

Denton was born in San Diego, and he remembers his grandparents’ fig and apricot trees, tomato and pepper plants, and, of course, all kinds of flowers from snapdragons to birds of paradise. On his patio in LW, he has a pup from his grandparents’ gigantic Stagorn fern.

From a young age, Denton learned to mow and trim his family’s lawn and was inspired by his parents’ love of gardening. Denton says that the connection with nature when his hands touch the soil is an amazing gift.

Tickets for the June Luncheon will be on sale for $30 in the Lobby before the meeting. The plant table will be up and running in the meeting room, and the “WE CARE” table will be set up in the Lobby, ready for donations of cash, checks and non-perishable food items. The greatest need right now is for monetary donations to assist local people in need with rent, utility bills and other costs of living affected by the current high rate of inflation.
