However, when Mike Matherly from the San Diego Audubon Society spoke to Mission Hills Garden Club members, that awareness rose to a new level. I am now fascinated by and curious about our […]
Transformation Instead of Resolutions
It’s another new year, and another fresh start. The first days of January have a special quality and are full of promise. Although I am a professional in habit changes and it is my passion, I am not fond of New Year´s resolutions. Too often have I seen them just ending up as empty promises […]
What Now? We’ve Been Floored!
If there’s one thing you shouldn’t do, domestically speaking, it’s buying new carpeting. Just keep the carpeting you’ve got, y’know? Never mind the age, its stains, the wear, the kids, the dog.

Holiday Décor from a Master
Because the Mission Hills Garden Club’s October meeting was a pumpkin carving event, I chose to cross the bridge to Coronado’s Beach and Bay Garden Club to see another René van Rems’ spectacular instead. As usual, he was introduced as an award-winning floral designer, teacher, author, stand-up comic and popular speaker. René studied floral design […]
