Rose Revival in the Snow

Led by Barbara Meyer, our fearless members braved the snow flurries, wind, and chill (see, below) to prune the rose beds at Avis Campbell Gardens Sunday afternoon. We enjoyed a delightful workshop with expert tips on caring for roses, solutions to problems that arise with pests or plant diseases, and hands-on pruning guidance. What usually takes a week, we accomplished in an afternoon, thanks to the 13 attendees. There was a spirit of joy and camaraderie as we worked together and caught up with one another. Thank you Barbara for so generously sharing your expertise!
