Front Yard Modification Program – Now Available!
We’re pleased to announce the adoption of the Front Yard Modification Program, which gives homeowners the opportunity to enhance the Association-maintained landscape in front of their homes—at their own cost, while still keeping a consistent, community-wide aesthetic.
This new option allows Owners to request approved planting changes using the Front Yard Plant Master List, and to complete the work either through the Association’s landscape vendor (Harvest) or an Owner-Preferred Vendor.
How to Get Started
- Review the Front Yard Plant Master List and select your 1st and 2nd plant choices.
- Notify Management that you’d like to participate in the program. We will guide you to the correct application and coordinate next steps.
If You Choose the HOA Vendor (Harvest)
- Before you complete the application, Management will help arrange an on-site appointment with Harvest.
- During this visit, Harvest can meet with you to discuss placement, plant choices, layout, and feasibility, making the process smooth and clear.
- After the meeting, Harvest will provide a proposal (with a proposal reference number).
- If you request a customized rendering, Harvest can prepare one for $150, which includes up to two revisions.
- Harvest will provide all approved plants and labor, and the Owner reimburses the Association before work begins.
- All plant material installed by Harvest is warranted for one year.
If You Choose an Owner-Preferred Vendor
- You may work with your own vendor, as long as all plants are chosen from the Front Yard Plant Master List.
- Proof of insurance is required for the Owner-Preferred Vendor.
- All irrigation work must still be completed by Harvest, to maintain system consistency.
- You will negotiate the proposal and costs directly with your vendor.
Final Inspection
Once the project is complete, the Landscape Committee, Harvest, and the Owner will conduct a final inspection to ensure the installation meets the approved design and community standards.

🌧️ The Benefits of Rainfall for Our Landscapes
Seasonal rainfall plays a vital role in maintaining healthy landscapes and offers several advantages over supplemental irrigation. Natural rainwater is free of salts and chemicals commonly found in reclaimed or treated water, allowing soil to absorb moisture more evenly and helping plant roots grow deeper and stronger. Rainfall also reduces runoff, promotes healthier soil structure, and helps flush excess salts from the root zone—especially beneficial after warmer months of irrigation.
Whenever possible, rainfall allows us to reduce irrigation run times, conserving water and lowering overall landscape maintenance costs while still supporting vibrant turf and plant material.
❄️ Landscape Care During the Colder Months
As temperatures cool, plant growth naturally slows, and landscape needs change. To keep vegetation healthy during winter months:
- Reduce irrigation as needed—overwatering during cooler weather can lead to root disease and poor plant health.
- Limit pruning to remove dead or damaged branches only; heavy pruning is best saved for spring unless otherwise recommended.
- Monitor drainage after rainfall to ensure water is not pooling around plants or turf areas.
- Protect sensitive plants by keeping mulch in place to help retain soil moisture and regulate soil temperature.
These seasonal adjustments help plants conserve energy and prepare for healthy growth in the spring.
🚧 Reminder: Keep Plant Material Off Rear Yard Fencing
As a reminder, homeowners are asked to ensure that trees, shrubs, and vines are kept trimmed away from rear yard fencing. Plant material growing against fences can cause damage, trap moisture, and accelerate wear over time. Maintaining a small clearance helps preserve fencing integrity and supports proper drainage and airflow.
Thank you for your continued cooperation in helping keep our community landscapes healthy, attractive, and well maintained throughout the year.

The Stars Are Shining on Orange County
Did you know that Orange County has a planetarium? Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa has boasted a planetarium since 1959 but recent campus improvements resulted in a new planetarium building opened in March 2019. The building was designed in the shape of a spiral galaxy to emulate the Milky Way Galaxy and features a 70-foot dome theater with stadium seating for 124. The planetarium is open to the public and presents a variety of shows in the theater about astronomy, space, and the solar system. Occasionally there are light shows on popular subjects such as the Beatles and Taylor Swift. The presentations are geared for different age groups so some might be ideal for a visit with grandchildren. The planetarium is also open to the public for viewing events which occur during the year such as the blood moon or an eclipse.
Recently, I had the opportunity to view a special show, Beautifica 360, which is being shown at the planetarium for a limited time. The show featured an immersive light display on the domed screen accompanied by music and brief narration. The visuals were dramatic and ever changing while the music was soothing so that the experience of sitting in a very comfortable seat with head resting to gaze at the screen was dreamlike and possibly, for some, sleep inducing!
For information on the planetarium shows consult the web page at www.orangecoastcollege.edu/community/planetarium. Most shows are on Saturday afternoon or Tuesday evenings and are reasonably priced, usually under $10 for seniors. There is a $5 charge for visitor parking at the school, and a virtual parking pass can be obtained through the website. The school is located at 2701 Fairview Road, Costa Mesa and is easily reached from the 405 freeway.

National Caregiving Foundation
Free Support and Resources for Caregivers
Caring for a loved one can be deeply meaningful—but it can also be physically, emotionally, and financially demanding. Fortunately, several national organizations offer free resources and support to help caregivers navigate these challenges. One such organization is the National Caregiving Foundation (NCF), which provides assistance through direct mailings, including Caregiver Support Kits. These kits contain educational materials, practical caregiving tools, and general information on conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and care for injured or aging soldiers, helping caregivers feel informed and supported at home.
In addition to NCF, caregivers can access a wide range of no-cost services from other trusted organizations:
-
Caregiver Action Network (CAN): Offers a caregiver help desk, online tools, webinars, and peer support for those caring for loved ones with chronic conditions.
-
Family Caregiver Alliance (FCA): Provides education, support groups, care planning resources, and condition-specific guidance for family caregivers.
-
AARP: Delivers caregiving articles, planning tools, local resources, and advocacy focused on aging and family care.
-
Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregivers: Focuses on caregiver training, respite care information, and support for diverse caregiving communities.
These organizations are dedicated to ensuring caregivers are not alone. Whether you are seeking practical tips, emotional support, or educational materials, these free resources can make a meaningful difference. Caregivers are encouraged to explore these options and take advantage of the help available—you don’t have to do it all on your own.
REMINDER: YOU CAN FILL OUT THE FORM HERE
SEAGARDEN NEWS
WEEP SCREED (duty of homeowner to correct soil level)
The Association has notified homeowners in Seagarden in writing about ensuring that the weep screed is not covered by soil or debris and that there is at least 2-3 inches of stucco exposed below the weep screed to ensure no flooding can occur. All homeowners and tenants need to be vigilant in checking around the exterior of the house, especially during heavy rains. If rain water is not draining adequately or fast enough, measures should be taken to remediate the problem as soon as possible. If any interior damage is caused by weep screed issues, the homeowner is responsible for the financial consequences.
EARTHQUAKE INSURANCE
There currently is NO earthquake insurance on the Seagarden buildings
We would also like to remind each Seagarden owner that obtaining and maintaining additional earthquake and/or loss assessment coverage is to your benefit .
Loss Assessment coverage helps pay your share of certain additional assessments levied by the Gallery Association on Seagarden members for earthquake-damage repairs. Assessment coverage is offered by CEA and maximum coverage is currently $100,000.

Reminder About Online Registrations
from the Recreation Committee
It has recently become an issue at events that some residents have brought guests who were not signed up or who had not paid for the event. 
Residents who have not registered for an event with a fee or with participant limits will not be admitted. Residents who have not registered for a free event will only be admitted if space allows.
All Residents are reminded of The Gallery “Online Event Registration Rules & Regulations” which are referenced on every event registration form.
Click the orange graphic to see the rules.
The Rules for multiple registrations are:
- Each household is allowed 2 registrations. One must be a Gallery resident.
- If a 3rd person resides in a household and that person is a registered “tenant”, “occupant”, or “caregiver”, that person may also register for events.
- If an event is later opened to guests, additional registrations may be purchased.
- The honor system will be relied upon for enforcement.
If you have registered for an event and are unable to attend, please contact the office ASAP so the next person on waiting list can be notified that an opening has become available.
We appreciate your consideration for others.

Understanding Guest Policies at The Gallery: What You Need to Know About Hosting Visitors Under 55
Living in a 55+ community like The Gallery comes with many benefits—quiet surroundings, shared interests, and amenities tailored to an active adult lifestyle. But along with these perks, there are specific rules in place to ensure the community remains compliant with federal guidelines and maintains the quality of life that residents expect.
One of the most important—and often misunderstood—rules pertains to overnight guests under the age of 55. Whether it’s adult children visiting from out of town or grandchildren staying for the weekend, it’s essential to understand what’s allowed so you can host your loved ones while staying within the community’s regulations.
Why These Rules Exist
The Gallery, like all age-restricted communities, is governed by the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), which allows certain housing developments to legally limit residency based on age. In order to maintain its status as a 55+ community, at least 80% of the occupied units must have at least one resident who is 55 or older.
To preserve this status and the lifestyle it supports, guest policies are enforced—particularly when it comes to visitors under the age threshold.
The Guest Policy for Those Under 55
At The Gallery, owners may host overnight guests under the age of 55 for no more than 60 days in a calendar year. This applies whether those days are consecutive or spread out over time. This rule ensures that the primary demographic remains adults aged 55 and over while still allowing residents to enjoy visits from family and friends.
Here’s a quick summary:
- Guests under 55 may stay overnight for a maximum of 60 days per calendar year
- These 60 days can be consecutive or non-consecutive
- The rule applies to each unit, not each guest
Best Practices for Residents
To help you enjoy time with loved ones while staying within the rules, here are a few tips:
- Track visits: Keep a simple log of guest stays to ensure you don’t exceed the 60-day limit.
- Communicate with management: Let the front office or community association know when you’ll have guests, especially for extended stays.
- Know the rules: Review your community’s full guest policy regularly to stay informed about any updates or additional guidelines.
A Balance of Comfort and Compliance
The guest policy at The Gallery is designed to strike a balance between maintaining the integrity of a 55+ community and allowing residents to spend meaningful time with younger family members and friends. By following the guidelines, you help preserve the community’s unique environment—and ensure it remains a welcoming, well-regulated place to call home.
If you have questions about the guest policy or need clarification about specific situations, don’t hesitate to reach out to the community management team. They’re here to help!
