LUCERNE, Calif. – The North Lake Garden Club will meet on Tuesday, March 22, at Lucerne Community Church, 5870 E. Highway 20.


The group will meet at 6:30 pm. for refreshments and sharing plants.


The meeting starts at 7 p.m. with the topic being rhododendrons with speaker Jim Celesi of Fort Bragg. He will cover varieties and how to grow the beautiful plant in your yard.


The club always has interesting presentations on gardening. Last month, there was an impromptu presentation on the daffodil or narcissus flower bulb by longtime gardener Sharon Thorne, treasurer of the club.


She shared the wonderful life of the lovely blossoms popping up right now in rock gardens, planters and everywhere along our Lake County roads.


The cuplike blossom blooms from a bulb in whites, yellows, and other hybrid colors or rings of orange or green.


Often a favorite, the hardy bulb comes in 12 varieties with many hybrids. They often are used in arrangements or as a single flower in a bud vase.


The presenter, who has planted a hillside at her home with different types, offered advice on buying the bulbs, keeping them healthy, and planting directions.


Thorne brought in the different types plus a gorgeous bouquet of yellow and white split coronas, miniatures, large cup and trumpets.


North Lake Garden Club is beginning their sixth year and welcomes new members. It is a member of California Garden Clubs Inc., National Garden Clubs Inc. and Mendo-Lake District. The club meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month.


At the April meeting they will have a presentation on an Oregon garden by Dr. Jim Xerogeanes of Mendocino College.


If you have a Northshore-area garden to share for the group's inaugural High School Scholarship Fundraiser Garden Tour and Tea May 21, have a public place where a tree should be planted or need more information about the garden club please call President Don Smith at 707-972-6023.
