Tennessee’s largest and most popular gardening event returns at The Fairgrounds Nashville! and once again, the Nashville Rose Society will have a booth manned by Society members. No experience is necessary, you just need to talk to people about roses. Cindy Worch will have sign-up sheets at the February meeting.

It is time to start planning to prune the roses for their new spring growth. The first Pruning Workshop will be held on Saturday, February 24, at Lynda and Gordon McClellan’s garden near Opryland from 10-12 PM. New members will have a chance to have hands-on experience with trimming roses by learning from experienced rosarians.

The garden is located at 2615 Davidwood Court, Nashville 37214. For more information, call Marty Reich at 615-833-0791 or 615-319-9487. Learn more about pruning roses here.
