This is two of the four or five bluebirds that have been visiting Harriet Behrens patio this week. They look right at home on her sofa!  Harriet said, "Guess I should check the bluebird house that Kent donated to the Heritage Garden last year to see if there is a nest being made."  


                                                          May Meeting
                                                    
  
       (5/16/08)

There's nothing like a little friendship and nourishment before the start of a meeting (1-4). The garden and plant boutique was extended to include Cookie Lee products (5,6,7) and our consultants (7) donated 20% of the proceeds back to the club.

Margie William's shares her inspirational message, Life's Lessons in my Own Backyard (8),  then Diane Greenwood demonstrated how Mylar balloons can be used to keep away pesky Mockingbirds (8-9).  Jan Macdonald (11) talked about National Garden week as Carleene Hyde (12) passed out supply bags to those preparing the displays.

Theresa Weber and Pauline Leenders were the recipients of the Golden Glove award (13) and  Martina Trotta (14) was the guest speaker from the Santa Margarita Water District.  We welcomed new garden club members, Joyce Prouty, Agnes Sugino, Jewell Martin, and Jean VanDerford - not pictured (15).

On Saturday, March 1, Betty and David Jackson traveled to Fullerton (430 West Valencia ) to deliver pots planted with pink heather, thyme and pansies to the new Habitat for Humanity homeowners.  There were two brand new homes with fresh new paint and fresh new landscaping.  When they rang the door bell of the first home they were thrilled to find the mother and two of her three teenage children at home.  Betty explained why they were there and that they were representing the Canyon Crest Garden Club.  The new homeowners were thrilled and invited Betty and Dave in to see their new four bedroom home.  The mother informed them that this would be their first night in their new home and she was very excited.  Betty learned that when the new homeowners are presented with the home they receive it completely decorated and furnished, including dishes, linens, furniture, accessories, everything they need. 

Needless to say Dave and Betty were very touched at how appreciative this family was of their new home.  Anderson-Jackson Group, Inc. was very happy to donate the pots and all the plants to the new homeowners on behalf of our garden club.

Before they left the father came home from work so they had an opportunity to meet him as well.  The above photos are of the home, the pots and the family.
