Annual Spring Garden Tour
Annually, several members share their beautiful gardens in the Spring (usually April) for our Annual Spring Garden Tour.
Annual Boutique
Our Annual Spring Plant Sale and Boutique will be held on the Saturday before Mother’s Day, May 10th, 2025. It is held in the parking lot of the Lake Forest Beach & Tennis Clubhouse, 22921 Ridge Route, Lake Forest, California. Admission is free.
We have a huge assortment of indoor and outdoor plants and vegetables, succulents, floral baskets, as well as floral bouquets to buy for gifts or for your own home and garden. We also feature a "fabulous finds" area and an impressive raffle. Come join us!
This event is the biggest money-making fundraiser we
have in LFGC and helps fund the many philanthropic
projects we do throughout the city and for our club.
