We're the Livermore Amador Valley Garden Club (LAVGC) in the San Francisco Bay Area. Most of our members live in Dublin, Pleasanton, or Livermore. Our club's mission is to encourage interest in all phases of home gardening; promote better horticultural practices; promote civic beauty; and promote conservation of natural resources.
On this site you'll find information about LAVGC activities, events, and community service projects. You'll also find helpful information about gardening, program videos, suggestions about gardening-related places to go, and more. You don't need to know anything about gardening to join our Club. We're an enthusiastic group, always eager to share our knowledge.
LAVGC 2023-2024 In Review: Power Point or PDF
Our Members meetings are the second Thursday of the month, September through June. Visitors are welcome to attend a club meeting once before joining. Special interest groups and community service work parties meet regularly throughout the year.
Steve Campbell, long time nurserymen, will discuss and demonstrate pruning fruit trees for size control, dormant, and spraying. He will also offer pruning tips for other shrubs and trees. NOW IS THE TIME! He'll discuss how to grow lots of different varieties in a small area. He is currently working for the wholesale Hollandia Nursery and he will talk about new plants from Hollandia, with samples and on-screen images.
Steve asked to start his program at 6:00 PM. He wants to be able to answer your questions during the break. Our business meeting will follow the break.
Plant share: We'd like to resurrect the Plant Share, which used to be part of our meetings. Feel free to bring a sample of something interesting from your garden for the plant share.
