Yearly Activities

Annual Tea

The club’s annual tea serves dual purposes: first, as a place for current members to enjoy each other’s company in a convivial setting of opulently decorated tables, and second, as a membership drive where members are encouraged to invite guests.

Blooming Art in Bonita

Held annually in partnership with the Bonita Museum, participants are invited to try their hand at floral interpretation of Dia de los Muertos.

Demonstration Garden

The club maintains a demonstration garden in the front plot of the Sweetwater Community Garden, 5354 Sweetwater Road, Bonita.

Festival of Trees

Under the auspices of the San Diego Floral Association, the club decorates a fresh pine tree as part of the Festival of Trees, an annual event held during Balboa Park’s December Nights celebration.

Field Trips

Monthly field trips, related to the club’s mission are offered each year. This gives members the opportunity for fellowship and in-person exploration outside the confines of regular meeting time.

Workshops

We have outstanding members who enjoy sharing their knowledge and skills. These can be anything from floral design to creating jewelry. We sign up at our general meetings to meet the following Wednesday for a planned workshop. There is a minimum fee.

Holiday Party

The December meeting deviates from the norm by having no outside speaker. Instead, members enjoy a tasty brunch and revel in the spirit of the holidays and winter solstice.

June Installation

The club year concludes in June with a festive brunch where outgoing officers are recognized and the new year officers are installed.

Plant Sale

The big spring plant sale, historically held on the Bonita Museum Patio, raises funds for scholarships at Cuyamaca and Southwestern Colleges.

Summer Garden Party

Club members reconnect in August for a relaxing late afternoon party of good company, food, drink, and music in a member’s beautiful garden.

Thursday Morning Walkers

In service to the Bonita community, some club members walk the Stephanie Rossi Trail Thursday* mornings and pick up trash that has accumulated each week. They meet in the Bonnie Brae Shopping Center parking lot, east of Starbucks, at 8 a.m. in the summer and 8:30 a.m., fall through spring.

*The exception to this is the last Thursday of the month where you will find members tending the rose garden at St. John’s beginning at 9 a.m.
