The season will open with Mike and Angelina Chute from Rose Solutions. This program features a modern look at recently introduced varieties and old favorites that are disease-resistant, winter-hardy, easy-to-grow roses that bloom all season.
“Sustainable roses are sturdy, attractive plants that can hold their own in a pesticide-free landscape. Whether you live in moderate coastal southern New England, the colder central areas, or the frigid far north, you can grow beautiful roses anywhere in New England and we can show you how,” said Mike Chute.
The Chutes offer many different programs about growing and maintaining roses. They will speak to the core of sustainability, explaining the different grades and types of roses, their growth habits, and how to select the best varieties for one’s garden.
The Horticulture Series is a long-standing part of the Camden Garden Club winter season. Fifty-five years ago, the club supported the first series of educational and informative talks for the community.
The Camden Garden Club cultivates the art of gardening to its fullest sense, develops and preserves beauty in and around Camden, and promotes civic improvements, education, and conservation of natural resources.
Registration is required. To register and for more information, visit camdengardenclub.org.
