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.
The December meeting will be an opportunity to get to know your fellow members better and enjoy a wonderful potluck dinner. Sharon and Dana are cooking up some sort of surprise for us. You’ll have to come to the meeting to find out what they are doing.
The Club will provide eating utensils, paper products and table decorations. Members will provide the dishes for the potluck. Please bring a dish to share from the categories below, according to the first letter of your last name. Store bought is just fine if you prefer not to cook or bake. If your dish requires serving utensils, please bring them with your dish.
A – F: Toothpick or finger food snack (no utensils needed for this snack)
G – L: Hot side dish (Ideas: rice, potatoes, veggies, fruits, beans, pasta, or bread-based type of dishes)
M – O: Cold side dish (Ideas: same as for hot)
P – R: Non- Alcoholic beverages (Ideas: sparkling water, cider, punch, lemonade, water)
S – Z: Sweet treats: Surprise us with an interesting delicacy. (Ideas: candy, cookies, pie or cake)
