Livermore-Amador Valley Garden Club

Gardening for Fun and Purpose

Who We Are

Livermore-Amador Valley Garden Club (LAVGC) is a dedicated non-profit educational organization affiliated with California Garden Clubs, Inc. We serve the vibrant Tri-Valley Area, including Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Sunol.

We believe in gardening for fun and purpose while working together to share knowledge and promote environmental responsibility. We do this by encouraging interest in all phases of home gardening and by promoting better horticultural practices, civic beauty, and conservation of natural resources.

Club meetings are the second Thursday of the month, September through June, with speakers covering a range of topics. Visitors are welcome to attend one Club meeting before joining. Special interest groups and community service work parties meet regularly throughout the year.

Our Mission

  • Encourage interest in all phases of home gardening

  • Promote better horticultural practices

  • Promote civic beauty

  • Promote conservation of natural resources

Our Vision

Gardening for fun and purpose while working together to share knowledge and promote environmental responsibility.

October meeting: Building Better Soil

When: Thursday October 9, 6:00 to 8:00 PM

Where: CrossWinds Church, 1660 Freisman Rd, Livermore

Our program this month will be Lori Caldwell from StopWaste. As you know, healthy soil is the KEY to any successful garden. Join us as we learn the techniques for building healthy soil. The benefits are many: better water retention in the soil, increased nutrition for your plants, and higher yields and blooms. Lori is extremely knowledgeable. Even if you are an experienced gardener, you are guaranteed to learn something new!
