Lower Cape Rose Society

Everyone loves a bus ride! The Lower Cape Rose Society is sponsoring a trip to the New York Botanical Garden on SATURDAY, JUNE 7TH, 2008. We will be leaving the Harwich Community Center at 7AM with a pickup at the Sagamore Bridge at 7:45 AM. We will leave NY at 4PM for the return trip. The cost is $45 per person.

Lunch is on your own - bring a picnic lunch or purchase lunch at the Garden Cafe which serves hot and cold dishes or at the Leon Levy Visitor Center Cafe for sandwiches, salads and beverages.

The Peggy Rockerfeller Rose Garden will be in full bloom! June 7 - 15th is Rose Week! Visitors have called this glorious garden an “encyclopedia of roses” and a “living catalog” of what can be grown at home. Enjoy demonstrations, expert tips, music, storytelling, prize drawings, and other rose-related activities. Visitors are encouraged to see many of the other gardens and plant collections that are alive with the splendor of spring. The Jane Watson Irwin Perennial Garden, Nancy Bryan Luce Herb Garden, the Rock Garden, and The Woodland Garden Conservatory exhibition should not be missed. See many varieties of roses (over 3000 plants) in the newly renovated garden.

Don’t miss the fun. This is a trip not to be missed. Contact Audrey or OZ Osborn at 508-430-5329. Send your check payable to the LOWER CAPE ROSE SOCIETY to us at 12 Scotch Pine Farm, E. Harwich 02645

American Rose Society Consulting Rosarians of the Lower Cape Rose Society will present a program on improving Cape Cod garden soil. Learn how to amend your sandy soil into a garden rich in organics and nutrients that will retain moisture and grow your favorites roses, tomatoes, vegetables! Join in the discussion of what beneficial resources are available “for free” from Mother Nature and what beneficial raw materials we are throwing in the garbage every day. Why pay for composted products, when you can be making your own. The time is now — not in June to get your compost started. Guests are always welcome — join us for a cup of coffee.

Bring a sample of your soil for pH testing by Master Gardeners.
