The San Juan Capistrano Garden Club is working to restore the landscape surrounding a century old craftsman style home in the City’s historic Los Rio Street. The home was built in 1919 for Arley and Alice Forster Leck and is one of several notable homes that grace the popular historic district.

Pat Martin, Chair of the Leck House Beautification Committee said “ the project is moving along at a good pace with the help of the Garden Club’s Leck Committee members and Horticulture students from Saddleback College who joined the team and are providing muscle and enthusiasm to the project.”
