Our next winter event will be the annual Rose Pruning which will take place every Saturday in January at 10am until we’re done. If you've never done it before, we will teach you. Below is starter information….believe me, it’s easy and no one has ever damaged a rose bush so badly that it didn’t flower in Spring.
If you’d like to help, no matter how briefly, we’d really appreciate it. All you need to bring is clippers and good gloves-those thorns can hurt! Just show up; remember we don’t have toilets or water fountains available.
