Farm Markets & Glorious Gardens

This weekend I will be sharing rose growing information with the Birmingham Rose Society at Helena Market Days – a local farm market and I hope if you are in the area you’ll stop by and see us. Locally grown farm fresh fruits, vegetables and rose info! 8-12 noon on Saturday. Who could ask for more, right?

This week on Rose Chat Radio – While i’m out sharing roses Teresa Byington & Susan Fox will be on the air this week with our guest from the Friends of the San Jose Rose Garden!

Hear the wonderful story of how a group of dedicated volunteers began a rose garden revival in San Jose California that has won national acclaim. Join us as we welcome Beverly Rose Hopper, co-founder of the Friends of the San Jose Rose Garden.

We’ll be talking with Beverly about how a community came together to build what is now America’s Best Rose garden.
