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.

Glenn Phillips, the executive director of the Golden Gate Bird Alliance, is a lifelong environmental educator and conservationist. Raised in Livermore, he got his start in environmental education sharing his collection of reptiles and amphibians with local kindergarten classes when he was in second grade. Glenn has master’s degrees in urban sustainability and science education. He is thrilled to return home to the East Bay after many years in NYC, where he was Executive Director of NYC Bird Alliance and Vice President for Education at Prospect Park. At NYC Bird Alliance, Glenn helped grow the membership base, expanded programming across the city, and directed the publication of the country's first Bird Safe Building Guidelines.

Plant share: We’ll be having a Plant Share segment in our meeting. Feel free to bring a sample of something interesting from your garden for the plant share.
