It was a cold, windy day when 19 members of the Panora Garden Club gathered at the Panorama West golf course on April 14 to spring clean around the outside of the clubhouse.
Garden club members cleared leaves and dead foliage from the rain garden along the southeast corner of the clubhouse parking lot. The rain garden captures water runoff from the parking lot, which then is filtered by plants and mulch before it travels into a drainage tile.
Leaves and other winter debris was removed from landscaped beds that surround the clubhouse, the flagpole and the outdoor kiosk. Group members also trimmed evergreen trees, shrubs and roses near the Panorama West signs and clubhouse.
Five large truck loads of yard waste were taken to the LPA brush pile. After the work was done, the club held its 2025 kickoff meeting and enjoyed lunch in the clubhouse community room.
Two new members joined the Panora Garden Club that day. New members always are welcome. Details are available from any club member or the club’s Facebook page.
