  Hello Pruning Enthusiasts!   


Thanks, thanks, thanks to the dedicated pruners of Dublin's Emerald Glen Rose Garden!  On Saturday, January 23, we finished pruning!  The tidy, spare, winter elegance of a lovingly pruned rose garden is now on display in Emerald Glen.  During this January's efforts, we received many thank yous, thumb's ups and warm smiles from the park's visitors.  Along with the infectious (non-Covid of course), happy comradery of fellow MDRS pruners, receiving the thanks of Dublin citizens is an awesome experience. Shout outs to the following MDRS members for their generous efforts:

Saturday, January 23 pruners: Lou Evans, Kathy Knabke, Helen Moyot, Barbara Norkus and Sheryl Reed
