SUN CITY Lincoln Hills Garden Group - One of the oldest clubs at Lincoln Hills. Guided by a supportive and active Steering Committee, we offer monthly General Meetings with highly qualified speakers on all aspects of gardening. We sponsor Garden Shows (Bonsai, Flower and Rose), host a local Home Garden Tour, organize Plant Sales for Lincoln Civic Projects, and provide Field Trips, Socials, and Classes.
Our purpose is to: Acquire knowledge about gardening techniques, stimulate interest in landscape projects, expose the membership to horticulture, and enjoy camaraderie among members.
Every field trip will have a fee determined for the event. If the field trip requires carpooling, we will meet at the designated KC or OC parking lot. A $$ donation to the driver will be asked for on the application, and given to the driver in cash.
Applications are available online, via email, or in person at club meetings. Each application must be accompanied with exact cash (Sorry, I cant make change) or a check made out to SCLH Garden Group. All paid applications are non-refundable and it is your responsibility to find your own replacement.
Please e-mail the Field Trip Coordinator, GeorgiaAnn Vonk, at [email protected], or call 916-214-6748 if you have questions.
