| | | | | | Six founding members of the Moraga Garden Club gathered at the club's annual spring salad luncheon March 15 at the Holy Trinity Cultural Center. These ladies were part of a group that first met over 40 years ago to share their love of gardening, learn from each other, and enhance areas of their town with lovely plantings. The club has now grown to over 150 members and has contributed greatly to the community by supporting local schools and the library with their gardening activities, planting and maintaining many areas in the town, plus contributing to the annual show of daffodils each spring. The spring salad luncheon is a big event and fundraiser for the club. Speaker Rosalind Creasy, a nationally recognized authority who uses edible plants in landscape design, taught attendees how to incorporate vegetables, fruit, and herbs into their gardens and intermix them with decorative shrubs and flowers. The luncheon theme, "The Colors of Spring" was carried out with the many colorful tables decorated with imaginative centerpieces also made by club members.
