Garden Walk News

The Annual Mission Hills Garden Walk will take place on Saturday, May 7th. We need docents to greet visitors in the homeowners' gardens. You do not have to be a garden club member to volunteer, so ask a friend to do a shift with you and in return you will both receive a free ticket for the walk.



There are two ways to sign up:

1) go to our website: www.missionhillsgardenclub.org

2) email Barbara Kocmur at bkocmur@janezgroup.com



Serve as an Officer or Committee Chair for the June '11-May '12 Board. Sign up on our website www.missionhillsgardenclub.org! Please consider taking on one of the openings and have fun getting to know the club members better.
