Meetings

The Eastmark Garden Club meets on the 2nd Saturday of each month at "The Mark" (TYPICALLY).  Watch for updates on the "Eastmark Garden Club" facebook page.

Our goal is to have a garden tour at the home of one of the garden club members each month.  Watch for updates on the "Eastmark Garden Club" facebook page.

Sequoia Pathfinder School Service Project

A few members of The Eastmark Garden Club met Saturday August 5 and among the items discussed was an opportunity to help the Sequoia Pathfinder School organize a school garden following the suggested outline in "Az Gardens for Learning" book produced by the Western Growers Association that can be read at this link:  Az Gardens for Learning

The idea did not really take off at that time, however I have not given up on the idea.  Here are my plans.


  1. Perfect my ability to grow starts under lights inside
  2. Learn how to vermicompost in a bin
  3. Identify a few persons willing to spend a lot of hours initially to work with the school to set up the program and gather materials and then a few people who can spend a few hours each month to ensure the program is working.  A teacher has to be a main force and parents from the school must be present.
8 March 2019 I am still working on #1.
