The Sun Lakes Garden Club is pleased to have the inventor of Tony’s Magic Mix as the featured speaker for the Oct. 18 meeting.

Tony Sarah is a well-known horticulturalist in the Valley and has created an award-winning fertilizer. He spent years experimenting and studying the results. Tony has many fans on Facebook for Earth’s Original Organics. His topic will be “Techniques for Successful Container Gardens.”

Visitors are always welcome to attend a meeting or field trip before deciding to join. Members with no previous gardening experience are welcome and are not required to live in Sun Lakes.

Meetings are held every month (including summer) on the third Tuesday. Attendees gather at 9:30 a.m. to socialize and enjoy refreshments and coffee. During this first half hour, we greet visitors and check out gardening books from our reference library, and purchase any raffle tickets. There is also a “Free Stuff” table where members donate citrus or herbs or plants for other members. The meeting is called to order at 10 a.m. The meeting ends at approx. 11:45 a.m., and members and visitors often go across the street to the clubhouse for lunch afterward.

Check out our monthly “Newsletters” and “Resources” section on our website SunLakesGardenClub.org. The meeting location is the Chapel Center (house next door to Sun Lakes All Faiths Community Church and across the street from the Sun Lakes Country Club), at 9230 E. Sun Lakes Blvd. N., in Sun Lakes.
