Sunday, March 1, 2:00 – 4:30pm – Pamela Greenewald, Owner of Angel Gardens

Pamela Greenewald

We’re excited to welcome Pamela Greenewald, owner of Angel Gardens, as our March, 2026, Nashville Rose Society speaker. Pamela will be speaking to us virtually from Alachua, Florida.

Angel Gardens is one of only three commercial rose nurseries in the world growing roses 100% organically, with nearly 2,000 varieties grown on their own roots.

Pamela is a passionate collector and preservationist specializing in antique, old, and rare roses—including Teas, Chinas, Noisettes, Bourbons, Polyanthas, Hybrid Musks, climbers, and rare shrub roses—many of which are in danger of disappearing. Her nursery ships roses nationwide and has introduced rare varieties sourced from France, the UK, and Germany. During this virtual presentation, Pamela will share practical, proven methods for growing healthy, vibrant roses organically, even in challenging heat and humidity, while protecting both gardeners and the environment.

Pamela has served as Good Earth Chairwoman for the American Rose Society, is an active board member of the Heritage Roses Group, and founded the North Central Florida Heritage Roses Group, which maintains an organic rose garden benefiting hospice patients. She is also the founder of Rose Garden Angels, Inc., a nonprofit supporting veterans with PTSD through horticultural therapy.

As a special bonus, Nashville Rose Society members will receive a 10% discount from Angel Gardens.

The Ed Jones Auditorium at the Ellington Agriculture Center is located at 416 Hogan Road, Nashville, TN 37220. Click here for detailed directions.


Sunday, February 1, 2:00 – 4:30pm, 2026 Meet & Greet Kickoff Meeting

Join us for our first Nashville Rose Society meeting of 2026 — a relaxed meet and greet designed especially to welcome new members and reconnect with returning friends. We’ll spend time getting to know one another, share what’s ahead for the season, and provide updates on the relocation of the NRS Rose Study Garden to a new on-site location due to parking garage construction.

We’ll also enjoy a show-and-tell of recent photos from local rose gardens, highlighting what’s growing around Middle Tennessee. Whether you’re new to roses or a long-time grower, this is a perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and kick off the year together.

Location Note: This meeting will be held in the Bradford Room at the Cheekwood Estate & Gardens Frist Center, a new meeting location on the Cheekwood campus (not the Massey Center used in previous years). Please plan to enter Cheekwood via the main weekend entrance and follow signage to the Frist Center. The meetings are free to guests, as is admission to Cheekwood for meetings. Simply tell the gate attendant that you are there for the Nashville Rose Society meeting.
