Naturalist will speak at meeting
GARDEN CLUB
The Garden Club will meet Monday, May 15, at 1:30 p.m. in Clubhouse 2. Naturalist, artist and photographer Kim Moore will present a program titled “A Garden Filled with Life,” an overview of some insects and other critters that call a garden home.
After retiring from a career in information technology for the financial industry, Moore pursued her interests in nature, photography and art.
She has taken classes in entomology, zoology, birding and botanical illustration and is a certified naturalist through the Los Angeles Coastal California Master Naturalist Program, participating in environmental education and in citizen science activities including local butterfly surveys, bird counts and biodiversity hunts and studies.
“My art and photography reflect my passion for exploring nature—starting right outside my own front door,” she said.
Her work has been displayed at the Museum of Latin American Art, Greenly Art Space, Gallery at El Dorado Nature Center and the Liberty Gallery and Event Space in Long Beach.
Tickets for the Garden Club’s “June Blooms” luncheon will be available in the lobby before and after the meeting at a cost of $20.
The luncheon will be June 19 at 11:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 2. It will feature a delicious meal including a club wrap or veggie/ hummus wrap with salads and an array of baked goods for dessert.
Attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite gardening hat and participate in a festive parade.
There will also be door prizes and an opportunity drawing for many splendid gift baskets. Club membership is not required to attend this event.
The WE CARE table will also be set up in the lobby for donations of non-perishable food, gift cards and cash. Coffee, tea and cookies will be served after the meeting.
