Emerald Glen Rose Garden
Hello Pruning Enthusiasts!
The Annual Pruning of the Emerald Glen Rose Garden is Complete!
Many, Many Thanks to:
Lou Evans
Kathy Knabke
Heather Marcy
Andy Miller
Sheryl Reed
Elizebeth Wiener
...for their hours of work today completing rose pruning at Emerald Glen Park in Dublin. All attendees today were repeat 2024 pruners. Thanks to you all.
The garden now has that spare, clean and poetic look that graces a newly pruned rose garden. With all the rain anticipated for the next few days, the spring bloom should be spectacular. But the park today looks magical.
With gratitude,
The Grateful Dead Header, Kathy Knabke
