HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE, Calif. – The Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club has installed new officers this year.

 

Officers include President Angela Birk, Vice President Inge Rankin, Secretary Pat Berry and Treasurer Anita Engberg.

 

The Hidden Valley Lake Garden Club was the first club Birk joined when she moved to HVL in 1998. Birk loves living in HVL and says she considers garden work “green therapy.”

 

Rankin and her husband Mike, also a garden club member, moved to HVL a little over one year ago from Pennsylvania to be closer to their children and granddaughter.

 

“Gardening has been a fun activity for me since I was a toddler and helped my grandmother plant her vegetable garden,” she said. “We are continually amazed at the long growing season here and the great variety of plants that thrive in this area.”

 

Berry, in her second term as garden club secretary, has been interested in gardening since Girl Scouts' "Victory Gardens" during WWII.

 

She belonged to the Paradise, Calif., Garden Club for 22 years. She joined the HVL Garden Club 3 years ago and enjoys the pleasant associations and sense of purpose in various areas such as the plantings in the community, education of members, the Garden Sale, Adopt-a-Road, conservation and the general interest in making our world more beautiful.

 

Engberg has gardened in Nebraska, Iowa, Montana and Santa Rosa and is now learning to do so in Middletown where she settled two years ago. She and her late husband were active in the Santa Rosa Garden Club.

 

“It was a natural to join the HVL Garden Club,” Engberg said. “Sharing knowledge and ideas with fellow gardeners is always a joy.”

 

The mission of the HVL Garden Club is to provide members a greater sense of appreciation, pride and knowledge about our private and public gardens and for the study and enjoyment of amateur gardening in various aspects and applications.

 

Membership is open to all interested persons.

 

Meetings are held the second Monday of each month with a social gathering at 9:30 a.m. followed by the business meeting at 10 a.m. in the administrative office of the Hidden Valley Lake Association, 18174 Hidden Valley Road.
