Hermosa Garden Club Meeting

The Hermosa Garden Club was founded in 1957 with the mission to increase knowledge and interest among its members and within the community in Civic Beautification, Gardening, and Conservation.

Regular meetings are from September through May, on the third Wednesday of the month. The meetings start with a social time beginning at 9:30 am, the business meeting starts at 10:00 am, and at 11:00 am we have an expert speaker on various gardening topics.

Ongoing Club Activities:
Special activities during the regular meeting season include visits to member gardens on the last Wednesday of most months. They also have occasional plant related workshops and demonstrations throughout the year. Every year the club enjoys participating in the Hermosa Beach St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The April meeting is a bus trip to a garden of interest in the LA area and includes a stop at a plant nursery along the way. The focus of the May meeting is planning for their annual fund raising plant sale. In June they either have a picnic for their last meeting of the club year, or the installation luncheon for new officers for the coming two years. In August there is an open house for new and old members. The December meeting is devoted to a Holiday Celebration including a potluck luncheon. The Christmas potluck includes a gift exchange, contests for best floral arrangement and craziest Christmas hat, and singing of Christmas songs. They also have potluck luncheons as part of their regular meetings in February and May.

Membership Information:
Membership dues are $20 per year. Members receive a yearly membership book which lists all activities and members who share their enthusiasm for all things in gardening.

Members are responsible for volunteering to support the various activities of the club including hosting activities for the regular meetings, supporting the annual plant sale, serving on committees and in officer positions as your interest and availability allows.
