Garden Tour set June 1 It's spring! The earth is alive with beautiful shades of vibrant green. I love the crisp green tone of the fresh new leaves. What a glorious time of year. The freshness of spring got me thinking about using foliage to add color and interest to our gardens, particularly foliage of the big leafed plants. Here are a few that will enhance your landscape design. Let's begin with the ever popular hosta, also known as the Plantain Lily. Although Hostas do flower, their real gift is their beautiful, showy foliage. Leaf color varies from chartreuse to dark green and may also be variegated as well as two toned. The leaves also come in various textures ranging from smooth to ribbed. My first experience with the hosta was when two of my friends took out a pruning saw and cut the root ball into four pieces, one of which I received. I was sure that was the end of the plant but to my delight, when I planted mine I was rewarded with an absolutely gor- geous plant. A warning – snails love the Hosta and in our area (zones 8 and 9), Hostas need a shady home. The Hosta will also die back in the winter – which makes its reappearance in the spring even more spectacular. The coral bell is another favorite for its beautiful foliage. My mom always loved the dainty flowers of the coral bell but believe me, the new varieties are not my mother's coral bells. In my yard I have coral bells with deep burgundy foliage interplanted with others with beautiful chartreuse leaves. If you want to see some spectacular color variations go to your favorite nursery. The flowers of the coral bell are long lasting when used in arrangements and Humming Birds love them. But most of the coral bells The Red Bluff Garden Club is affiliated with The Cascade District Garden Club; California Garden Clubs, Inc.; Pacific Region Garden Clubs and National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Coral bells, like hostas, do best in our area with at least afternoon shade. A third plant with large and wonderful foliage is the hydrangea. The flower of the hydrangea is also spectacular, ranging from pink to blue to green to white, depending on soil type and amendments. Hydrangeas grow best in partial shade. However, they, do need some sunlight for a good display of flowers. The flowers remain on the plants for an extended length of time, but they will fade over time. I particularly enjoy the big foliage plants. They add interest and texture to our gardens. Check out some of the new and interesting varieties now available. I'm sure you will find just the right plant for that special place in your garden.

When the members heard that the Los Molinos Library was in danger of closing the doors they came up with the idea of having a small fund raiser to keep the library open. The members thought a pancake breakfast at the Molino Masonic Family Center would do the trick. Never did they imagine what a great event this would turn out to be. People showed up from all parts of Tehama County along with four past and present supervisors to show their support. Molino Star and Red Bluff Rainbow for Girls served more than 125 meals. Guests not only paid a $5 contribution but made generous donations. The Chapter had already agreed that it would pick up all expenses and all ticket donations would go to the Friends of the Library. Molino Star presented a $1,000 chec to the head librarian, Sally Ainsworth. Molino Star would like to thank everyone that attended or contributed to the event. Pictured presenting the check to Sally Ainsworth is Molino Star Secretary Carolyn Woods and Treasurer Jon Mathis. LM water board elected 90 years ago... Lake Resigns As Rector Of Local Church Rev. C.
