The booklet lists trees that grow readily in the Temecula Valley, along with beautiful color photos,

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS
Tree Care
June 11, 2022 | 10 a.m.
Speaker: John Huddleston, Owner, Precision Tree Experts
Trees are valuable! Did you know that a healthy and well-placed tree with a good structure could be worth tens of thousands of dollars...sometimes hundreds of thousands?! And think about the wildlife, aesthetics, and shade trees bring to the landscape. According to the study, the right amount of tree cover can lower summer daytime temperatures by as much as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Let's discuss how to keep our trees healthy in this drought period and beyond.

For 2020-21, the COVID pandemic curtailed most in-person gatherings.
As things began to open up... on May 11, 2021, three TVGC members opened their Gardens for a tour.
Here is a link to some video taken by Bob Boyd that day:
At our End of Year meeting in June 2021, (via Zoom), members were shown
'A Virtual Flower Show' prepared by Susan Puma and Bob Boyd,
featuring 150 beautiful photos submitted by TVGC members of their plants
growing in their own gardens.
You can view the Flower Show on You Tube at any time by clicking this link:
