The club will hold its annual Gardeners’ Market on Saturday, May 8 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in front of Chase Bank at 7777 Girard Ave. “It’s a fun event because all of our members can participate in the thing they do best, whether it’s baking or making flower arrangements or whether it’s potted plants,” said Fran Sheinbein, who is chairing the event along with her sister-in-law, Ruth Sheinbein. Each year, the garden club hosts the market the Saturday before Mother’s Day. The flowers, plants and baked goods are tied up in bows, ready to give to mothers the following morning. Note cards displaying photographs of the members’ colorful gardens are also on sale. The energetic gardeners aren’t simply concerned about showering mothers with gifts, however, they are fundraising to provide $4,000 in scholarships to city college students studying horticulture. “The group started 40 years ago by a very small group of women who wanted to give back to the community in the way of civic events or civic beautification,” Fran said. The La Jolla Garden Club meets every third Tuesday of the month at 1:30 p.m. in the La Jolla Lutheran Church, 7111 La Jolla Blvd. For more information contact Fran at (858) 450-1769.
