Let us introduce you to our wonderful garden club. We enjoy spending time together through our shared passion of gardening and learning about the environment. Our members work closely together and really step up to give each other a helping hand. In doing so we have many other common interests, we have also become great friends. Not every member is from Lake Forest, California.
Our theme for 2025 - 2026 "My Garden, My Happy Place" Our Co-Presidents, Annette Brant and Anne Breuer, believe that your garden is the one place that will put a smile on your face and make you happy.
During the year, we raise money to fund:
-
Scholarships for horticulture college students from our community;
-
Pollinator kits for elementary students to promote interest in nature

Our club's objectives include creating, stimulating, and inspiring interest in amateur gardening, floral and landscape design.
