Here's how to help Remember Me Rose Garden get ready to bloom this season
STOYSTOWN ― Remember Me Rose Garden is hosting a free Rose Care Master Class on Saturday for anyone who wants to learn more about caring for roses while helping at the garden’s first volunteer workday of the season.
Participants will meet at 9:30 a.m. at Camp Allegheny, located 1/4-mile away from the rose garden (at 100 Camp Allegheny Drive) for breakfast and a presentation about roses by Stephen Scanniello, curator at the New York Botanical Garden and Elizabeth Park Conservancy.
After the presentation, participants will head to the Remember Me Rose Garden (at 6488 Lincoln Highway) to help remove mulch and prune the rose bushes to get them ready to bloom this season.
