Please plan to attend the workday at the Cheekwood Rose Study Garden on Monday, March 25, from 3:00 – 5:00pm, to help get the roses ready for spring! This is the day that we will check pH, fertilize and prune the roses. We will also plant new roses and get the irrigation system up and running.

Bring your pruners and gloves. If you are new to roses or if you are an old-timer, this is the perfect opportunity to learn more about the spring care of roses.

When you arrive, don’t forget to sign in at the Visitor Center as a Volunteer.

This event has been canceled.
