HORTICULTURE/CONTAINER GARDENING

Stimulates knowledge and a love of gardening by sharing information at meetings, hands on projects, and disseminating horticultural information such as planting, propagating, caring for flowers and ornamental plants; coordinates the perennial plant sale at the garden tour, and “Grow & Show” at monthly meetings.

The Horticulture Committee held a separate perennial plant sale on Saturday, June 12, 2021 in downtown Oakland. Plants are donated from our members’ gardens. This has been an ongoing event for the past 16 years. The committee and club members staff the sale, offer assistance to visitors about the plants, and give guidance on planting and maintaining them.
​
The Horticulture Committee is beginning a new community- based program of taking small bud vases with a floral arrangement to the local Dennett Road Nursing Home. Working with other committees, we hope to include local children and teens to expand our outreach program by using member’s floral material from their gardens to share with the elderly. Other ideas being considered are working with residents  with floral design, and floral painting,
