Aguanga resident Pam Nelson has graciously agreed to open her home and property to host the High Country Garden Club on Saturday, June 13, at 10:30 a.m.

Ms Nelson is a retired high school science and math teacher and holds a degree in microbiology/biology. She is actively involved in watershed and conservation issues.

She and her family live on an 80-acre parcel. They have wholly invested themselves into living on a small footprint and try to not disturb the soil and natural beauty.

Living ‘off the grid,’ they have 24 solar panels, two wind pumps for their wells, horizontal wells and a wind generator for electricity. A small garden feeds them and they use donkeys to trim and mow the land. Sharing their experiences promises to be most interesting.

Finding the property isn’t too easy, so Pam will meet us at the Rancho California RV Park in Aguanga at 10 a.m. From Anza, just go left at the stop sign at the Hwy 79/Hwy 371 intersection and the RV park entrance is on the right. (Park in dirt area just past grass entrance.)

If you have any nursery cans of flats to recycle, please bring them with you.

For more information, contact garden club leader Annika Knoppel at (323) 304-6166 or (888) 834-9005, ext. 5, or e-mail hcgardenclub@gmail.com.
