Gail & Ladd Seekins—Cairo, Alexandria and Siwa Oasis

For the San Gorgonio Chapter General Membership, Gail and Ladd Seekins will present a stunning slide show of their tour through Egypt and Jordan last February and March.

They will share their pictures and experiences of Cairo, Alexandria and Siwa Oasis. The Seekins traveled independently, not joining a tour. Walking extensively in all three places, they felt welcome and safe, day or night.

Come for a tour of two of the world’s great cities and a visit to a unique oasis in the Sahara.

Programs begin at 7:30 p.m.

Xeriscape Tour

Take the Big Bear Xeriscape Garden Tour July 18

By Christie Walker

Time for the Xeriscape Garden tour in Big Bear. 2008 was a banner year for the Big Bear Group’s annual Xeriscape Garden Tour. The tour won the Ida and Denny Wilcher Award honoring Sierra Club groups for excellence in fundraising; attendance topped 400 people – (427 to be exact); the local Flower Show was held the same weekend providing cross promotion for both events; and the addition of landscaper showcases brought added educational value.

The 2009 Xeriscape Garden Tour brings more exciting collaborations to the event including a: FireWise showcase home; City of Big Bear Lake business component (Still in the works); and the return of the Flower Show and Landscaper Showcases.

This year’s tour will be held on Saturday, July 18^th. You can start the tour any time between 9 am and noon at Emingers Mountain Nursery on Big Bear Blvd. in Big Bear Lake, across from Denny’s. Participants will have until 4:00 pm to complete the self-guided tour of eight homes.

The purpose of the tour is to educate homeowners and increase awareness of the use of native and drought tolerant plant materials in mountain gardens in a fun and informal setting. For more information on the tour contact Christie Walker at 909-866-5006.
