About Mission Valley Garden Club: This wonderful volunteer group is a great way to meet fellow neighbors, help grow a garden, and learn about native plants. Dig in and join the fun to help plant native plants, weed, water, mulch, and maintain our native seed library.

No experience is necessary! Stay tuned for exciting educational talks with native plant experts at Mission Valley Garden Club events!
