LAKE COUNTY – Mendo-Lake District honored Jo and Jerry Shaul with a Penny Pines plantation at the winter general meeting.
Ann Blue, district Penny Pines chair, said the group usually focuses on how their contribution helps the National Forest Service in restoring forest lands that have been damaged by fire or disease; and by presenting the certificate for Jo and Jerry Shaul, they are recognizing and honoring members who stand out for their contributions to the Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club.
The Shauls have been members of Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club since 1976 and Jo Shaul is past president of CLTTGC and past district director of the Mendo-Lake District.
They have both held several offices at club level, district level and state level. Their two-acre California native plant gardens gives Jerry Shaul much to write about in CLTTGC’s “Trellis Talk” newsletter and also CGCI’s “Golden Gardens” magazine.
Ukiah Garden Club hosted the meeting and lunch.
The California Garden Clubs Inc. President Maryanne Lucas was a special guest at the meeting.
