Join us for a Buzz Session! This meeting will provide an opportunity for you to share what you love about growing roses, to present your challenges over the past year or so, and to tell us
how the NRS can be helpful to you as you work to cultivate healthy roses. The meeting will begin with hospitality and introductions, and the program will begin at approximately 2:15pm.
Attendees will be assigned to tables to balance the groups. Following the discussions, we will meet back as a group and each table will present any comments of note from their discussions.
This meeting is an excellent opportunity to meet you fellow NRS members, share your successes in your garden, and get advice on what you might want to do differently.
