Garden Club speaker will discuss native plants

The club will meet Monday, Sept. 18 at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2. The guest speaker will be Kathie Moriarty, Ph.D., who will discuss area native plants.

The Garden Club has a great lineup of tours for its 2023/24 calendar, plus exciting guest speakers.

In October, the club will visit the Sherman Library and Gardens in Corona Del Mar. Members will participate in a docent-led tour, followed by a lunch in the 608 Dahlia restaurant. Upcoming events include a December trip to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library to view its exquisite display of Christmas trees, a February trip to Dodger Stadium to see its botanical garden, and a final April trip to the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana. The cost for each tour covers transportation, entrance fee and, in many cases, lunch.

Those interested in going to the Sherman Library and Gardens should be sure to attend the September meeting where they can buy a ticket for the tour and join the Leisure World Garden Club.
