Emerald Glen Rose Garden

 Hello Pruning Enthusiasts! 

 

This is a reminder the annual Emerald Garden Rose Garden Prunathon has not quite been completed. 

Because the garden contains almost 200 plants now, the plan is for the group to meet again, same time, same place. A notice will be sent out a few days prior to the pruning date. 

We need pruners and/or rakers to assure success.  Raking itself is an important career path because it is so important to clear away canes so pruners can work efficiently.

The City of Dublin has asked us to wear masks for both their and our protection.  If you come on a group working day, I can give you one.  You can go any day in January to prune or rake.  Just bring your own mask.  Rake cuttings into piles within the garden and leave unbagged.  Let me know you have gone there by reporting your time spent in the garden plus travel time to and from the garden.  Send the info to me so I can ask the City to pick up the canes left from your pruning.

Thank you in advance.  It’s a fun time to join the group on a communal pruning day. To celebrate, a variety of junk food will be served along with bottled water.  The knowledge of how much you indulge goes no further than the confines of the garden.

Many thanks,

 

The Grateful Dead Header, Kathy Knabke


P.S.  I would like to suggest that you put your name on any tools you bring since many of us have the same/similar items/Jan
