In recent years, many individuals
and organizations have made significant efforts to enhance the quality
of life in our Sierra Nevada foothill communities. Among these, the
Divide Garden Club is universally regarded as a leader in civic
beautification and preservation of native flora. Those who come from
more metropolitan areas will probably be surprised at the pivotal role
of the Georgetown Divide Garden Club. in the daily life of these
communities.
Another major focus of the Club has been
to help its members meet the challenges of gardening in hot summers, dry
shade, rocky soil and steep terrain, with substantial competition from
wildlife. Wildfires are always of great concern in our area during the
dry months, and therefore, the growing of fire retardant plants is
stressed.
All the
flowers of all the tomorrows are in the seeds of today.
