🌿🐝 Celebrating smart, beautiful gardening! Congratulations to Kirk & Karen, winners of the 2026 LBCWD WaterWise & FireSafe Award at the Laguna Beach Garden Club Gate & Garden Tour for their stunning “Queen Bee’s Clubhouse” garden.
Designed with waterwise and fire-safe principles in mind, their landscape proves that sustainability and style go hand in hand — creating a space that’s artistic, pollinator-friendly, and resilient for the future.
As part of this special recognition from Laguna Beach County Water District, they were presented with a one-of-a-kind handmade mosaic stepping stone — a beautiful symbol of thoughtful stewardship and creativity in the garden. 🌸💧🔥
Thank you for inspiring our community to garden with beauty, purpose, and conservation in mind!
