About The Village Garden Club of La Jolla
The Village Garden Club was founded in 1974 by a small group of women with fresh ideas and much enthusiasm. Now, 52 years later we have a large, strong membership, each contributing and sharing their own unique talents. We meet in La Jolla, California, which is located in San Diego County. Our club is one of the most dynamic in the Palomar District, providing an outstanding schedule of programs, field trips, workshops and other activities throughout the year. The club's objectives continue to guide us in planning projects and programs.
