LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Participants of the Adult Respite in Clearlake and Lucerne definitely got into an Irish mood during their garden therapy session led by members of the Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club recently.

The garden club comes monthly to the senior groups bringing garden related projects and supplies for the participants.

March was all about the Irish with green containers, green floral material with shamrocks as the finishing touch.

Jo Jameson, garden club member and chairperson of the garden therapy, plans and collects materials for all the projects with the help of other members.

Focus is on the enjoyment of each project, social interaction with others in the program, with visual, tactical, aromatic elements coming into play.

Each participant proudly takes their finished projects home with them each time

Garden club members volunteering for this month's Irish floral theme were Heide Thomason, Nora Gerrard and Jo Jameson.

Following the floral arranging activity Audrey Perry, pianist, delighted the participants and the volunteers with an Irish songfest.  

Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club meets at noon on the third Tuesday of the month – except July and August – at the Scotts Valley Women's Club House, 2298 Hendricks Road, Lakeport.

Members, guests and all interested are most welcome.

President Helen Turley, 707-262-1721, invites interested gardeners to join them.

Clear Lake Trowel & Trellis Garden Club is a member of Mendo-Lake District, California Garden Club Inc., Pacific Region and National Garden Clubs Inc.
