"Global Gardening"
Mission Hills Garden Club is dedicated to supporting the Horticulture Programs in San Diego schools at the elementary and secondary levels as well as in various local community colleges. For our March meeting, we are showcasing Crawford High School and their extraordinary gardening program they have developed with the help of The International Rescue Committee.

Presented in a multimedia format they will share with you a heart warming tale of what Mission Hills Garden Club's contributions have done for the personal, academic and social lives of the intern recipients & their schools. Hear and see how our support is truly reaching out on a global level.
The finale will be learning how to create "SEED BALLS" like the ones used for the dedication of the New Roots Community Garden which First Lady Michelle Obama recently visited. (All materials provided)

Dear Mission Hills Garden Club Members and Garden Aficionados,
Please find below the Club’s events and other community and garden related infos:
Wednesday, January 26, 6 pm - 8 pm
Monthly Meeting
Best of the Best: Succulent Container Gardens well known author, Debra Lee Baldwin, will be speaking to members and the public at its monthly meeting in January. She will be discussing her beautiful new book, Succulent Container Gardens, which has just been tagged as one of the ten best garden books of 2010 in several publishing and distribution polls. No stranger to the writing world, she has authored and provided the photographs for several other volumes and articles on gardening with succulents.
