Garden club to discuss simple home gardening permaculture techniques

FALLBROOK – The Fallbrook Garden Club will start off the year with a meeting Tuesday, Jan. 30, at the Community Center, 341 Heald Lane, in Fallbrook.

The meeting will commence 12:30 p.m. with a potluck lunch. Members are requested to bring a finger food dish for at least 12 people. The business meeting will begin 1 p.m.

Following the business meeting, Diane Kennedy, owner of Finch Frolic in Fallbrook, speak on “Food, Permaculture and the Humor of Living.” Permaculture is a system of agricultural and social design principles centered on simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems. Her presentation will include easily replicated examples for the home gardener.

The Garden Club will be presenting a Flower Show to the public, April 7, and at this meeting, members will be encouraged to sign up for the various committees needed to make the show a success.

The general public is invited to attend the Jan. 30 meeting. For more information, visit http://www.fallbrookgardenclub.org.
