The Tacoma Garden Club is invited to join the Seattle Garden Club at our annual Joint Luncheon on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at the Burke Museum of Natural History. (Contact Karen McGrath, if you are interested in carpooling.)

Our speaker is Joe Gaydos, whose talk is entitled “Saving our local Ocean with Science, Policy, and Humor.” Joe works at Sea Doc Society on Orcas Island. Last year, Joe won the GCA Hull Award, recognizing the outstanding achievements of individuals furthering the early environmental education of children.
