We are eagerly anticipating celebrating our 20th Annual Rose Festival under the big tent centered in the charming Schoolhouse Rose Garden. This annual festival is beloved by the gardening community, and we always enjoy rose-related conversations throughout the day. This year, we will have wonderful discussions to attend, and hope to see you in the gardens.

"A Rosy Day Out" includes a community rose display and competition in the Schoolhouse, an ice cream social in the afternoon, and opportunities to sit together with like-minded gardeners in the Schoolhouse Rose Garden while listening to keynote speakers. This year, we will celebrate garden roses, showcase a community rose display and friendly rose competition and of course, offer tips, tricks, and experienced knowledge on rose care. At 3 p.m., our favorite "Rose Buds" Ciscoe and John, will enthusiastically share their favorite rose companions…and give away plants too!
