Meet Neighbors  ~   Learn  ~   Help Grow a Neighborhood Garden

Mission Valley Garden Club's meeting on Saturday 7/4/26 is a unique one! We are hosting a special July 4th potluck, this is a time where you can check out what Garden Club does and ask our members directly any plant questions you might have. If you're a returning Garden Club member, bring a friend to join in on the fun and get some much needed rest on what is going to most certainly be a warm day. If you feel inclined, please bring a potluck dish to share. This can be anything from savory to sweet,our goal is to provide various fun snacks and a chance for members to show off their culinary skills (bonus points if you grew your shareable snack).
