Garden club delves into deer
“Oh, Dear! (Oh, Deer!) – Coping with Bambi in the Garden” is the topic for the Tuesday, Aug. 26 Garden Club of Los Altos program.
The speaker is Bob Hornbeck, a teacher, writer, cultivator, botanical guide, docent and lifelong learner in the field of horticulture. For this meeting, he chooses to share his current topic of interest: getting into the mind of deer. He will share vulnerable and invulnerable plants for dealing with these visitors in the garden, lawful reminders and suggestions to take away from the talk.
The Garden Club of Los Altos meets at the Los Altos Lutheran Church, 460 S. El Monte Ave., Los Altos on the fourth Tuesday of each month except July, November and December. The meeting begins at 12:30 and the program at approximately 1:30. There is a $10 fee for guests.

‘My Illustrated Poem’ exhibit at LACC
The Parks, Arts, Recreation and Cultural Commission is hosting its latest art exhibit, “My Illustrated Poem, ” running through the October at Los Altos Community Center, 97 Hillview Ave.
The exhibit invites visitors to experience poetry through the eyes and brushes of local artists.
“My Illustrated Poem” focuses on the emotional world of language and visual interpretation. In response to an open call for art issued by the commission, local residents created original artworks inspired by poems – either classic or contemporary – that spoke to them.
Each piece in the exhibit is paired with the poem that inspired it, allowing viewers to reflect on how rhythm, character and language can be translated into visual form.
