The Vista Garden Club has been in existence since 1930. We are a group of 100+ men and women who love gardening. We are members of the National Garden Clubs, Inc., Pacific Region Garden Clubs, Inc., the California Garden Clubs, Inc., and the Palomar District. We have membership in the Alta Vista Botanical Gardens (Brengle Terrace Park) and the San Diego Floral Association.

We meet the first Friday of each month at the Gloria McClellan Senior Center- back building (Brengle Terrace Park, Vista) with a morning tour or workshop followed by a fingertip luncheon and the meeting starts at noon. An educational presenter follows a short business meeting. Visitors are always welcomed.
