The Sun Lakes Garden Club recently heard a message on The Future of Water in Arizona from Rebecca Garrett of the Arizona Chapter of the Nature Conservancy. She gave an encouraging talk about using the power of nature to restore river flows and secure Arizona’s water future. She told us about the Salt-Verde Valley Water Fund “sponsoring nature-based-on-the-ground watershed restoration projects” that are beginning to have positive impact.

Our Sun Lakes Garden Club August 16 meeting will feature a Certified Master Gardener on the topic of “Fall Garden Success Starts with Soil Preparation and Plant Choice. All interested Sun Lakers are welcome to attend. We meet every month on the third Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in the Chapel Center across from the Sun Lakes Country Club Clubhouse. Come a little early to sign in and socialize. For more information call Diane Beatty  at 480-895-3687.
