Pt. Defiance Park

Rose Garden Deadheading

begins

June 28

 

Want to help?

     Novices are welcome, and after some brief instructions will be expert deadheaders, because deadheading is simply removing the spent or faded blossoms to encourage the bush to produce more blooms.

     To join the “deadheaders”, this is all you need to do:

1. Come to the rose garden at 4:30 or soon after on Thursday afternoons, beginning on June 28th. Free parking is nearby.

2. Bring sharpened pruners, sturdy gloves, a small bucket (for your clippings), and dress according to the weather. Don't forget the sunscreen; even on cloudy days. A hat is a good idea too.

3. You will be paired with another volunteer who will give you some pointers about deadheading.

4. Please spray your pruners with Lysol spray (provided) before starting to work to help prevent the spread of crown gall.

     We hope that we can count on your help. It is a great way to perform a community service while spending some time with your fellow TRS members in the beautiful setting of the Point Defiance Rose Garden. And here is the best part: when the work is completed each week, everyone is invited to a no-host meal at the golden arches on North Pearl Street.
