Meetings

Meetings are on the 2nd Wednesday of every month!

Doors open for the meeting at 7:00pm and the program starts at 7:30pm at the Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation (except December and July – see calendar).

Each month we host a featured speaker and raffle a wide variety of plants.  Members often share free cuttings from their own gardens, show special plants on the display table, and bring refreshments to share.

Our meetings are open to the public. Help to set-up and clean-up are most appreciated.

Live Oak Unitarian Universalist Congregation is located at 820 North Fairview Avenue. This is on the mountain side of the 101 freeway, just off the corner of Fairview Ave and Cathedral Oaks Road. Click here for a map.

Following the recommendations of the California Department of Public Health:
– Please do not attend SBCSS events if you have any of the symptoms of COVID infection or if you have recently been in contact with someone with an active COVID infection.
