February 2023

The February Lakeside Garden Guild meeting was held on Thursday 2/16 at Jan Alswager’s home in Upper Chula Vista.  Sue Williams provided homemade pastries, Alicia Merrill brought fruit skewers, and Jan Alswager provided the floral display.
As Guild Members arrived and wandered through her beautifully mature gardens, Jan pointed out her favorite plants - her jade vine is simply stunning.
Two guests attended the meeting: Margaret Quinn brought a new neighbor, Carrie Hemphill, and Beth Fluke brought her friend, Beckie Mara.
Programs Alicia Merrell introduced Greg Ochs from Greengo Farms with his program "Growing Sprouts."  Many of us are familiar with his products sold at the Tuesday Market.  His products are also available at the Rootside Market in the Laguna Mall.  Greg graciously provided sample cups with the various microgreens and sprouts for attendees to taste, and brought some kits so we could "grow our own."
After an informative program, most of us went to lunch at Adelita's to continue chatting over a delicious lunch.
