Still Haven't Picked Up Your Yearbook?
The 2024-2025 issue of the LOW Garden Club Yearbook is available and if you haven't picked yours up yet, it's not too late! Just ask for it when you check in at the next meeting--Karin has them all!
The Yearbook is your "all-access pass" to the who, what, when and where of our club. In it you'll find member info including members' addresses, pictures and birthdays, dates of meetings at the local, district and state levels, local workshops coordinated by our own program committee, a listing of past presidents, the bylaws, pictures taken throughout last years' events and much more! The club is able to give you this Yearbook free of charge due to the generosity of our advertisers whose ads more than cover the cost of printing the issue. Please notice the ads, patron these businesses and thank the advertisers for helping our Club.

Are You Ready for Some Cold Weather Color?
By Rose Javier, Programs Committee
Karen Tavakoli, a dedicated educator, shared her knowledge of sustainable practices by, once again, giving a presentation to the LOW GC meeting on Monday, Sept. 9th. She focused on the various beautiful native fall/winter, berry-producing shrubs and bushes we should consider planting in our gardens. She also had plants for sale! Click here to see notes from her presentation. With nearly a decade of experience in landscaping and nursery operations, Karen founded “Karen for Nature” to reconnect people with the natural world right in their own yards. At “Karen for Nature,” the mission is clear: to empower individuals to play an active role in reversing the climate crisis, one yard at a time. Karen’s deep passion for nature drives her to explore its intricate patterns, capturing unique insights through photography and rigorous data collection. By replicating natural systems with cutting-edge technology and innovative optimizations, she creates impactful, sustainable solutions for her clients. Her pioneering work in native plant propagation and market stimulus is paving the way for a greener, more hopeful future. |
