Tahoe Donner Gardens Shine Brighter

Join Tahoe Donner's Newest Club!

Interested in learning more and sharing your experience as a Truckee gardener? Tahoe Donner will host us as we compare techniques, listen to local experts and visit active gardens for inspiration and education. This will be a FUN and casual way for gardeners of all levels to collaborate, celebrate or commiserate as Mother Nature intends!

Please join this NEW CLUB at the ground level to help shape its direction. 

FUTURE MEETINGS - All meetings will be held at 4:00 pm in the Community Room in the Northwoods Clubhouse. If the weather is nice, we'll be back at the picnic tables, or the Meadow room if the weather is bad. 

*Please mark your calendars!
