Meetings

We are back with Live Meetings Again!!

We meet on the 2nd Thursday of each month

We are super excited to announce our monthly meetings are now live at the MCC Library. Our next meeting will be held on August 11th starting at 7:00 pm. This month we are privileged to have Sheri Mclane Soil Scientist present a program at our meeting. She will talk about common nutrient issues found in roses and signs to look for, how soil is formed, nutrients in the soil, how to add naturally, and precautions when adding nutrients. Plus how to read labels and ask questions. Come to the Community Room at the MCC Library on the campus at Dobson and Southern to join us in person.  There is plenty of free parking, a meeting filled with good company, good rose information and advice, and all that makes the evening worthwhile.

See the directions below for a map to the MCC Library. We will also have the option of attending via ZOOM with the link below.

Great Information – Check it Out

As Spring is here it is the time of the year to clean up your rose beds and prepare them for the growing season. One of the areas that are often overlooked is the soil. It is said that without great soil your roses will not flourish.
