MARCH MEETING

Posted on by

On March 11, 6:30 pm EST, we will have our first in-person meeting of 2025 at the Sullivan Munce Cultural Center, 225 West Hawthorne Street / Zionsville, IN.

We are excited to welcome Joe and Carrie Bergs down from Wisconsin! Carrie is the current VP of the American Rose Society and Joe is her partner in crime in all things rose. They grow an amazing garden and are major competitors at rose shows – winning high honors both at the local and national level!

HE SAYS / SHE SAYS
A Pair of Perspectives on Rose Gardening

Every year, since 2012, Joe and Carrie have cultivated, mulched, fertilized, winter protected, deadheaded, and pruned over 400 roses on their historic 15-acre farmstead in Union Grove, Wisconsin. Joe, an easy-going child psychiatrist by profession is an energetic, task-oriented gardener in his free time. A glass half-full optimist, he definitely views life and their garden through rose-colored glasses. Always on the lookout for half-empty glasses, Carrie is a detail driven gardening perfectionist who leaves no stone unturned.

Together, (they just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary) they are an almost perfect gardening match! In their lighthearted presentation “He Says, She Says” A Pair of Perspectives on Rose Gardening they reveal their shared strategies and individual approaches to caring for their roses and other gardens.

MEETING OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

Our meetings are open to the public, so grab a friend or group of friends and join us. Spring is just around the corner and having so many garden lovers in one place sure ramps up the excitement!
