ABOUT CARMEL VALLEY

GARDEN ASSOCIATION

Carmel Valley Garden Association - established in 1958 - is a non-profit organization of enthusiastic members with a love of gardening in common. We hold meetings on the 2nd Thursday of each month at 7:00 at Carmel Valley Community Center on Ford Road (But we arrive at 6:30 to socialize before the presentation). Our membership and our meetings are open to all – experienced gardeners and those who’d like to become experienced or just more informed. We also put out a newsletter with articles of interest, timely tips for your gardening, upcoming events, and smiles.

Carmel Valley Garden Association (CVGA) is committed to beautifying, educating, maintaining, and improving Carmel Valley’s environment. Carmel Valley Garden Show is our major fundraiser. Funds from this event go to our projects. We’re involved in the care and feeding of the patio garden at Carmel Valley Library, Carmel Valley History Society, and at Rosie’s Garden. CVGA designed and installed an educational native plant area at Garland Ranch Park.
