A BRIEF HISTORY OF ROSES
Roses have a long and colorful history. They have been symbols of love, beauty, war and politics. Garden cultivation of roses began some 5,000 years ago in China. During Roman times, large public rose gardens flourished in the south of Rome and roses were used for medical purposes, as a source of perfume, and as confetti for celebrations. In England in the 15th century, the rose featured prominently in a conflict that became known as the War of the Roses where a white rose symbolized one faction and a red rose the other. In the late 18th century, cultivated roses were introduced into Europe from China. The modern age of rose growing officially began a short time later in 1867 when a French grower, Jean-Baptise Guillota developed a new class of rose called a hybrid tea. Hybrid teas are now the most widely grown and purchased roses in rose history.
Old
Poway Park's Nelson House Period Garden
This project was undertaken in 2004 when it
was noted that the existing garden needed refurbishing and
volunteer support for continuing maintenance. It represents
how a turn of the century garden may have looked. Enjoy the
garden...
Templars
Hall Garden
We are excited about on new project:
The Templars Hall Garden. Plans started in 2007 to provide
a native garden at the front entrance of Templars Hall with a grant from California Garden Club. The

Thank You for another successful Flower Show!
On behalf of the Flower Show Committee, we wish to thank each and every one of you that made the annual flower show such a success. It takes a Club that is vibrant and dedicated to make such an activity a reality, and that is what happened this last week ---from the first round of entries on Thursday, through Friday with the additional entries, judging and luncheon, and then on to the actual day of the show. By working together we provided an education experience for our larger community and especially our members. And finally, we again proved our dedication and willingness to create a place in our larger community where people with interests in gardening can gather to further their understanding and interest in the art of gardening.
Emily, Flower Show Chairperson

Festival at Old Poway Park

In partnership with the City of Poway and in
conjunction with Poway's Earth/Arbor Day Celebration, we will
be showcasing our talents in a new and different way at our
1st PVGC Garden Festival featuring:
 In
conjunction with Poway’s Earth/Arbor Day Event on April
8th, at the Old Poway Park, a Garden Festival will be presented
by the Poway Valley Garden Club. The 65 club members are from
Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Rancho Penasquitos, Ramona, and Escondido.
The club will showcase all its yearly projects, offer gardening
and floral arranging demonstrations, a children’s planting
area and a huge plant and floral arrangement sale.
The Templars Hall will be filled with informative displays
spotlighting the yearly projects of the club. One feature
will be the reproduction of the club’s gorgeous vignette
display from the December Nights event at Casa del Prado in
Balboa Park. A small mock flower show will have a sample of
horticulture entries, Flower Show designs, and a special exhibit
display. A cozy garden retreat in the center will offer a
place to sit and relax.
The tent will have demonstrations on worm farming,
starting cuttings and seeds, creating dish gardens and floral
designs; and all demonstrations will allow time for questions.
Floral designs, craft items, dish gardens and many plants
including herbs and vegetables will be available for purchase.
Outside the tent, there will
be a children’s activity area. The children will learn
how to care for and pot a plant that they then may take home.
A special bonus this year will be the presence of the Master
Gardener Association of San Diego. Four representatives will
be available to answers questions and to give free advice.
The Garden Festival will be in Old Poway Park at Midland Road
from 9 am–2 pm. Look for the large tent on Midland Road.
Come celebrate Earth Arbor Day on Saturday, April
8th! It’s all free!
Letter from our Garden Festival
Chairwoman...
The Festival was a huge success!!!
All the displays were fantastic. Mission accomplished and
we really did showcase what we do!
The sales of the plants, dish gardens,
crafts and misc. were more than we could have expected. All
the floral designs and fresh flowers were sold. The Children’s
planting area was organized and beautiful. Many kids walked
by with big smiles with their plants in hand. Although, the
turn out for the demos was limited, the demonstrators illustrated
their expertise areas superbly. The bonsai display was so
impressive and beautiful. Members with special expertise were
gladly giving out advice on how to care for plants. The club
really did “strut their stuff”. We should all
be proud of our success.
Although, there was a lot of hard work involved,
I will always remember this festival with good thoughts. Almost
all of our members participated. Smiles and laughter were
abundant throughout the three days. We all should feel proud
of what we give to our community. This festival was another
gift. Visitors, including a few community leaders were impressed
with our clubs involvement at this Earth/Arbor Day Event.
Thanks for all your creative work, hauling items you loaned,
donation of plants and time,
I am so proud of all of you and our club. Thank you.

Blue
Star Memorial Highways & Byways Marker
 National
Garden Club approved the Blue Star Memorial Byway maker in
1994 for placement in parks, historic sites and civic areas.
They are a tribute to all who serve or have served in the
Armed Forces and to beautify our country. Keep our blue star shining lest we forget those who keep us free. Poway Valley Garden Club has purchased a Blue Star Memorial By-Way Marker in 1988 and it is located in our community rose garden at Lake Poway.
Christmas
in the Park
 Saturday,
December 9th, 2006 at Old Poway Park
Many many thanks to all of the members who worked
hard to make all the wonderful items to sell at the Christmas
in Old Poway Park. Their efforts were rewarded with lots of
sales and comradeship.
Barbara Camarillo did a marvelous
job of getting us a really good spot and filling up the tables.
It was a very enjoyable evening for those of us who attended
that night.
Saturday, December 10th,
2005 at Old Poway Park
To welcome Santa to Poway, the city sponsors
an event that allows local organizations to conduct sales
in the Carriage Turn area of Old Poway Park. Santa arrived
by train at 5:30 PM.
Twinkling colored lights, festively hung wreaths,
beautiful floral decor and our ideal location made our second
venture at Christmas In The Park a success. Besides offering
a variety of items made by the eight-member Crafter's group,
eight members (some doing double duty) created arrangements
and prepared plants for sale.
 Our
booth was the largest and full of wonderful items to purchase.
Our fastest seller was our Santa hat, and we sold them off
our heads!
We had an abundance of flowers
so our face-painted-elf, Rosemary, was busy giving out holiday
wishes and flowers to children in the Park.
Thank you to all who participated!

Penny
Pines
The “Penny Pines” plantings are made as part of the regular
National Forest reforestation program on burned-over and brush covered areas which are potentially productive timberlands. The Supervisor of each National Forest selects planting sites.
Southern California plantations are for watershed protection, soil stabilization and shade for recreation areas.
 Total donations since the start of the Penny Pines Program in 1941 have come to more than $1 millions. Using these donations combined with regular Forest planting funds, more than 2 million pine fir, redwood, and giant sequoia seedlings have been planted on 88,000 acres of National Forest land in California – truly an outstanding accomplishment in conservation! The funds you
contribute will help pay for this needed planting.
Under a Conservation Agreement, our donation goes toward the cost of planting seedlings on about one acre of Cleveland
National Forest . Using our donation together with Federal funds, the Forest Service will do the planting.
The plantation will be marked with a standard Forest Service sign that names our organization.
Poway
Valley Garden Club participates in the Penny
Pines conservation program. Donations are the amount of $68.00 for each Penny Pines Plantation
purchased and proceeds are sent to the Cleveland National
Forest reforestation project.
The Conservation Table appreciates all donations & sales. Please continue to support PVGC
Conservation Table, most sales go towards a
Penny Pines Donation.
To date our club has made many Penny Pines donations.
Plant
Sale
The Poway Valley Garden Club Plant Sale is held
once a year, Saturday, April 17, 2010 in conjunction with our
Flower Show. Members donate a wonderful collection
of healthy plants, decorative items and crafts for the garden.
