Mind, Body and Soil …
Mind, Body and Soil Gardening Group: Special Date this Month!
July 17, 2025 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Location varies
The Mind, Body & Soil Group meets monthly, generally on the third Tuesday of the month at the Clubhouse, a member's garden or a public garden, usually from 2-3:30 pm. This month, we are meeting on a special date.
Avid gardeners all, we clear our minds and find inspiration working in the garden; we work on keeping our bodies fit and strong, and in the soil we find the immense satisfaction that gardening can bring. We promote sustainability, planting native species, protecting pollinators, and safe and healthy practices. We produce beauty, peace, conviviality, good things to eat and bouquets galore! We share garden know-how, learning from each other and from garden masters. We visit other people’s gardens and gardens of note near and far. We share cuttings and seeds and, most importantly, we share, nourish and grow friendship. We welcome you to come grow with us!
This month Audrey Rust, native garden expert, will host us in her native garden. It's an opportunity to see an almost no water garden in the midst of summer. Audrey will share her knowledge, practices and experience. Since planting in October is the best time to do so for California natives, this is a good time to begin to think and plan.
To learn more or RSVP and get details, contact Chair Mary Lou Mason at garden@sjwomansclub.org
