    The Mission Hills Garden Club invites you to a Holiday Family Cookie Recipe Swap! 


    As the holiday season approaches, what better way to celebrate than by sharing our favorite family cookie recipes? 

    We are excited to invite you to our Holiday Family Cookie Recipe Swap! 

    Date: Saturday, October 19, 2024 

    Time: 10:00 AM 

    Location: To be emailed a few days before the event.  The house is in Mission Hills. 

    Hosts:  Matt Wehland & Joe Lynch

    Coffee, tea, juice, and breakfast will be provided.  

    Mimosas will be available for the daring.


    Here’s how it will work: 

    Submit Your Recipe: Please send me your favorite family cookie recipe by September 30th.  This way, we can compile and share them with everyone at the event. 

    Bring Two Dozen Cookies: On the day of the event, bring two dozen of your homemade cookies to share. This will allow everyone to taste and enjoy a variety of delicious treats. 

    Your hosts will provide holiday bags so that you can take cookies with you if they don't get gobbled up.  

    It’s going to be a fun and festive time, filled with great company and plenty of cookies to go around. 

    We hope you can make it! 

    Please RSVP by September 30, 2024. 

    We need to limit the guest count to 24 people so that we can navigate the kitchen, living and dining room.

    Looking forward to seeing you there! 

    Warmest wishes, 

    Matt & Joe

    Come meet Chuck McClung as he discusses his new book A Strawberry is not a Fruit, a collection of short essays on lesser-known ideas and perspectives from the world of plants.

    Chuck will talk about various aspects of plants and gardening and summarize some of the chapters from his book, like how to Know Your Plant and the Goal of Gardening, as well as how to diagnose plant problems.

     Chuck’s will also correct common misconceptions about plants, explaining, for example:

    *why you cannot over-water your plant

    *why orchids fail to rebloom

    *the real difference between annuals and perennials

    *what to do when you see ants on your plants.

     Chuck will answer all your plant questions and remain after the class to sign copies of his book.
