Keeping Solana Beach beautiful for 71 years!
The SeaWeeders Garden Club of Solana Beach promotes sustainable beautification of the City of Solana Beach through social interaction, garden education, and home and civic enrichment. Gardening enthusiasts who live in Solana Beach and neighboring communities are welcome to our monthly meetings and to join our volunteer projects.
Our 12th Annual Pointsettia and Christmas Cactus sale is underway! Click here to order plants online or download and complete our order form to send us a check. You can pick up your plants on Saturday, November 30, 9 a.m. to noon at the west parking area of the Boys & Girls Club, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Unreserved plants will be sold there and at the Solana Beach Post Office on the same day, same hours.
The club’s roots date to 1953, when the Women’s Civic Club formed to focus on the beautification of Solana Beach. It was renamed in 2004 when Donna Golich, Gerri Retman-Opper, and others adopted the task of maintaining a community garden section of the Coastal Rail Trail. Local landscape designer Katie Pelisek and Sandy Parish formally revived the SeaWeeders in 2012 and brought the club under the umbrella of the Civic & Historical Society.
Recent projects include:
- Since 2021, partnering with the City of Solana Beach and its citizen Climate Action Commission to expand pollinator habitat as a community member of the National Wildlife Foundation’s Mayors Monarch Pledge.
- Adding boulders and plants at El Viento pocket park, where a squad of 6th grade boys from Skyline Elementary School helped us lay mulch.
