May 14 Club Meeting: Hosted by Club Member Lori Hemelehle
at her Guatay Mountain Nursery, 27423 Old Highway 80, Guatay. The Nursery is on the south side of the road just after the
25 mph sign as you enter Guatay. Look for prominent white
fencing on the right; the next property to the east is the nursery.
Lori has a large selection of native and drought resistant plants
which grow well in our climate. This is always a fun visit where
you can see the plants, feel and smell the plants and if you
wish, buy the plants. For more info on her Nursery go to:
www.sandiegonativeplants.com. She has a very nice web site
with lots of photos and information.
June Marks the beginning of the Descanso Garden Club
fiscal year. Each year the club members are requested to renew their club membership. Out of the membership fee of $15
the club pays for the annual yearbook and club expenses. Also
paid are dues to the parent organization California Garden Cubs
and the Palomar District which provides services in the form of
tax exemption filing status, insurance coverage and educational
activities. For more information about the California Garden
Clubs and Palomar district please go to their web sites at:

On page 3 of this newsletter is the Descanso Garden Club
Renewal Form. Please take the time to renew now so the Treasurer can process club membership information and monies to
the district and state organizations of which we are a part.
Thanks for being a member of the Descanso Garden Club

ANNUAL PLANT SALE FUNDRAISER Is Saturday June 6 from 8 to 3
Now is the time to start working on your plants or contribution to the Club’s Annual
Plant Sale Fund Raiser held on June 6! Please do not donate cactus and succulents as they do not sell well and are difficult to dispose of!
This sale funds all our activities for the year and it is important we have a great selection. Garden Crafts such as wind chimes, bird houses, bird feeders and other garden art as well a baked goods will be a welcome addition to our plant sale.
The plant sale will occur on the same day as the Friends of the Library’s Rummage
Sale. We will be in the Library garden and pavilion, like we were last year.
There will be no June Club meeting as the plant sale takes a lot of our time and energy.
ADOPT A HIGHWAY In honor of the Annual Great American Cleanup, Club members picked up roadside trash on April 23. Though it was cold and a bit rainy we
powered though and made an impact to keeping our roadside clean.
