Half Moon Bay Review
Pescadero resident and master gardener Jack McKinnon will discuss gardening specific to the Coastside at the next regular meeting of the Coastside Garden Club, to which the public is welcome.
The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, July 8, at the Coastside Adult Day Health Center at 645 Correas St. in Half Moon Bay.
The meeting will introduce the club to gardening lovers on the Coastside who would like to become involved. “It’s an opportunity to visit with us and get to know us,” said the club’s vice president, Lynn Gallo, who playfully described the club’s motto as “Where friends meet friends to play in the dirt.”
The Half Moon Bay-based club, which has been in existence for roughly 10 years and is currently under the leadership of president Teresa Adam, consists of 25 to 30 adults from Half Moon Bay to Montara, with a few from the Peninsula.
It is educationally focused, said Gallo, presenting regular lectures, offering two to three workshops annually on projects like holiday wreaths, terrariums and more.
Club members also participated in activities focused on and for the community, including maintaining the gardens in front of the Adult Day Health Center where the club meets and also maintaining “Melita’s Garden” outside the historic Johnston House. Named for the mother of James Johnston’s wife, Petra, it is a flower garden with roses and other flowers.
The club also provides floral bouquets that go with Meals on Wheels deliveries for those in need on the coast, along with personal notes.
