March 7

Point Defiance Rose Pruning Demo

Saturday, March 7 (9:00am – 12:00pm)

A rose-pruning demonstration will be held from 9 am to noon on March 7 at the Point Defiance Rose Garden.

Enter through the main park gate at the end of Pearl Street and look for the large wooden gazebo on the left beyond the pond.

Consulting rosarians from the Tacoma Rose Society and Metro Parks staff will demonstrate rose-pruning techniques and share information on how to care for roses.

Guests will be able to observe various rose-pruning and care techniques up-close, and try their hand at pruning in the garden. Those who wish to attend should bring a notepad and pen for taking notes, any rose gardening implements they’d like to try out (pruners, gloves, etc.), and weather-appropriate attire, since the demonstration will be held outside, regardless of the weather. The demonstration is free of charge.

Call (253) 591-5328 for more information.
