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.
Our Members meetings are the second Thursday of the month, September through June. In January 2023, the club is returning to in-person meetings after Zoom-only meetings during the pandemic. Visitors are welcome to attend a club meeting once before joining. Special interest groups and community service work parties meet regularly throughout the year.
Our October speakers are Alicia Eltgroth and Pam Johansen from Alden Lane Nursery, whose presentation is titled "Fall Salads--From Garden to Table." Alicia Eltgroth and Pam Johansen from Alden Lane Nursery will walk through the basics of growing and preparing your own supply of delicious greens and salad fixings. Alicia will cover what you can be growing now with some tips for winter vegetable success. Pam will chat about making your own salads and dressings to take advantage of your bounty.
For October only, we will be meeting at the Farmer’s Theater on the Crosswinds Church property. The Farmer’s Theater is located in the red buildings that are along the big parking lot as you come into the property. They are across the patio from the main church building). Look for the balloons.
Members have signed up to bring snacks. Please bring your own drink.
This District meeting in October will be held at Alden Lane on October 19, in the Season’s Room.
