The Gardeners of Green Valley
What We Do
Weekly Gardening Seminars
Free and open to the public, seminars are scheduled September through
April on Thursday mornings from 9:30 to 10:30. These are informal sessions covering citrus, roses,
annual and perennial plants, vegetable gardening, irrigation, pruning, etc. presented by horticulturalists,
authors, master gardeners, and growers from throughout the area. Experts are always on hand to answer
gardening questions. For details, see "Seminars".
Cactus & Succulent Sales
Club members organize these sales annually in March and October at
Continental Shopping Plaza. These months are optimum times for installing new plants in the desert,
so sales are always brisk. See "Events" for the next sale date.
The Annual Green Valley Garden Tour
A major fundraiser, the tour was begun in 1981 and has become a well-attended community event each April.
Tickets are sold for self-guided tours of several carefully selected gardens in our area.
See "Events" for information.
Adopt a Median
In 2008 the club entered into an agreement with Median Green
to sponsor median NW18 on LaCanada Boulevard. The club donated funds to finance a watering system, add landscape boulders,
and plant nearly 65 plants and trees. Additionally we agreed to "adopt" this median by committing to regular watering, clean-up,
and maintenance. Currently members volunteer care for the median, which has thrived, adding beauty to "downtown" Green Valley.
Co-Chairmen are Dwight & Mary Kidnocker and Jim Campbell.
