The Refresh of the Moraga Commons entrance at the intersection of Moraga and Saint Mary's Roads saw its eagerly-awaited final mulching touches two weeks ago. A cadre of community volunteers - including husbands, Kiwanis, town officials - were spurred on by appreciative honking and comments from pedestrians and motorists. The Garden Club's own Julie Stagg's thoughtful design was diligently implemented by Jessica Fleming and Janice Lieu.?

There are five other beautification projects the MGC has designed, planted and continues to maintain: The Country Club urns with solar lighting, the Library urn, the large Triangle at the intersection of Moraga Road and Rheem Boulevard (now referred to as the Gateway Entrance), the Perennial Garden at the Hacienda (near the Casita) with picnic table, and the fabulous Monarch Demonstration and Teaching Garden, a haven for returning butterflies and respite for all ages.

The Moraga Garden Club welcomes new volunteers in the upkeep of these projects.?
