he Scripps-Mesa Garden Club is celebrating, along with many others, a spectacular spring. Wildflowers are blooming abundantly in our open spaces. The director of the club’s website is collecting and displaying photos of their beauty. Go to scrippsmesagardenclub.com to enjoy them.

Instead of the regular library community room gathering on May 23, that evening members will tour a local garden featuring an abundance of orchids. The usual short business meeting, social time and plant share will follow the tour.

In April, local wild bird experts Jerry and Arlene Martin taught the gardeners about the proper food and equipment that supports the plentiful wild bird population that resides or flies through our region. The Martins run Wild Birds Unlimited, 10549 Scripps Poway Parkway, a wild bird supply store in our community, and were generous with sharing their knowledge of our feathered friends.

The Garden Club meets monthly, except in December, and welcomes residents of Scripps Ranch and Mira Mesa to join in learning more about gardening techniques. Check the website above to find more information about the group.
