Fallbrook Garden Club's biennial flower show is April 30

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Garden Club will present its biennial flower show, "A SOoo California Garden," Saturday, April 30 at Christ the King Lutheran Church, 1620 S. Stage Coach Lane. The show will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and there is no admission charge.

The juried flower show is an "all horticulture" show featuring perennials, succulents, shrubs, vegetables, roses, and more with an emphasis on what works best in a Southern California garden subject to a variety of temperatures and water needs. Competition is open to any amateur gardener and exhibitors do not need to belong to a garden club to enter.

Horticulture entries will be accepted Friday, April 29, 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. All plant material must be fresh and have been grown by the exhibitor. Each Horticulture Division entry must be accompanied by an official entry card. Cards will be available at club meetings and at the Entry Information Table on April 29. Individuals may submit more than one entry per class or sub-class if each is a different variety, cultivar, type or color.

Please note that due to the continuing Asian citrus psyllid quarantine in San Diego County, no citrus will be accepted for competition or display.

There will be information booths hosted by North County Fire District, FPUD, Grangetto's, Save Our Forest, and Fallbrook Beautification Alliance as well as educational workshops. The workshop topics include "Sub-irrigation garden beds" (Why do these save water and how do you get a bigger yield from your plants?); "How succulents can help you work within the new water regulations"; and "Easy succulent propagation and design".

The workshops are free and will be held throughout the day. In addition, a large plant sale will offer a variety of plants suitable for this area. Proceeds from the sale support the club's many community projects including college scholarships.

Founded in 1931, Fallbrook Garden Club is one of the oldest clubs in the state and has over 150 men and women dedicated to creating and promoting an interest in horticulture, floral and landscape design, conservation and preservation of natural resources, civic and environmental responsibility.
