Hosted by the San Clemente Garden Club:
GardenFest 2023 will be held from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 15, 2023 at the San Clemente Community Center on Avenida Del Mar at Seville. The San Clemente Garden Club (SCGC) hosts the annual event in partnership with the City of San Clemente Parks & Recreation Department, offering incredible bargains on hundreds of plants with an emphasis on drought-tolerant species.
SCGC members and sponsors propagated and donated the plants along with a community center auditorium filled with flea market items useful for gardens, homes and hobbies.
GardenFest also offers gardening and craft activities for children, display and sale of local art, craft demonstrations, displays about bee keeping and butterflies, and tips on water conservation. Master Gardeners will offer free garden tool sharpening.
South County area residents are also invited to enter the annual “Funky Plant Container Contest.” Attendees judge winners at the event. Entrees are due by 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 15.
GardenFest proceeds fund horticultural scholarships, programs for junior gardeners, and civic beautification.
The SCGC’s award-winning annual garden tour is set for Saturday, May 20, 2023. For more information about SCGC, membership and events, visit sanclementegardenclub.com or Facebook.
