La Mesa’s March happenings

Happy March! It’s both San Diego Theatre Month and San Diego Art Gallery Month. Let’s not forget national observances: Women’s History Month, Disability Awareness Month and National Reading Month. 

We haven’t quite hit spring cleaning yet, but I’ve been conducting some home redecorating — largely thanks to the huge closing sale at Macy’s in Grossmont Center. If you need an area rug, I highly recommend it. 

I’ve also been experimenting with creating art to cover my apartment’s Landlord Gray walls. It looks like La Mesa Wine Works is ready to assist with a botanical wall craft workshop coming up. Participants will use air plants, drift wood, preserved mosses and wooden flowers to transform a wood board into living art. The $60 class takes place Sunday, March 22, at 1 p.m. 

Here are three other March events to check out: 

Kids’ Soccer Day ⚽ Soccer Shots is hosting a Free Fun Day at La Mesita Park this Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. for kids ages 2 to 10 years to see if they like soccer. Check the age bracket schedule here.
