What is Point Loma Garden Club (plgc.org)?
Updated
plgc.org is the website of the Point Loma Garden Club, a community garden club in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego, California. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose members describe themselves as community-minded gardeners, landscapers, and floral designers who meet to study and share horticultural subjects and activities. The site is the place to check meeting dates and locations, learn how to join, and find contact details.
Who the club is for
The club serves both hobbyists and professional gardeners. Its stated purpose is “the friendly study and sharing of horticultural subjects and activities,” and its meetings cover topics of interest to both groups. If you garden for pleasure, work in landscaping, or do floral design, the format is built around that mix.
What happens at meetings
General meetings follow a consistent pattern:
- Brunch first: each meeting is preceded by a potluck brunch starting at 9:30am.
- Meeting at 10:00am: the general meeting begins after brunch.
- Program follows: a speaker or program comes after the meeting.
- End time: meetings typically wrap up around noon.
Activities across the year include speakers, plant sales, craft-making, field trips, and social gatherings — so the club is not limited to sitting and listening to talks.
Schedule and location
General meetings are held on the second Wednesday of every month, September through June. The venue is:
All Souls' Episcopal Church 1475 Catalina Blvd. San Diego, California 92107
The site lists upcoming meetings in November 2026, January 2027, and February 2027, all at 9:30 AM at the same church. Because the published list is partial, check the Meetings/Events page for the current schedule before planning a visit.
What the website covers
The site's navigation reflects what the club offers:
| Section | What you'll find |
|---|---|
| About Us | Who the club is and what it does |
| Join us | Membership information |
| Meetings/Events | Meeting dates, times, and programs |
| Community Service | The club's service activities |

The homepage also promotes a “Whimsical Birds and Flowers Painting Workshop,” an example of the craft-oriented programming the club runs alongside its horticultural talks.
Visiting and joining
Guests are explicitly welcome — the site says “Guests are welcome… we hope you'll decide to join us.” The practical route is to attend a general meeting: arrive for the 9:30am potluck brunch, stay for the 10:00am meeting and program, and talk to members about joining. Use the Join us page for membership specifics.
