Volunteers Needed to Tip Roses at the Rose Garden
[Duluth, MN] - For the roses at the Rose Garden in Leif Erickson Park, cooler weather means one thing: It’s time for bed.
Join City of Duluth staff and the Lake Superior Rose Society at our annual “tipping the roses” events, scheduled for the following dates:
Saturday, October 19 from 9 am – Noon
Tuesday, October 22 from 3 pm - 6 pm
Tuesday, October 22 from 3 pm - 6 pm
Whether you are experienced at the task or just want to learn, experts in the process will be there to teach volunteers. Previous knowledge is not required. This is an all ages, no experience needed event. Groups, families and individuals are invited to sign up. Dress for the weather, bring gloves and/or a shovel/garden fork (if you have them) and bottled water to stay hydrated. Tools and gloves will be provided to volunteers who do not have them.
Registration is encouraged in order for staff to prepare enough tools and equipment for participants. Contact Cheryl at 218-393-9879 or cskafte@duluthmn.gov to sign up.
Meet at the Rose Garden, near the bathroom facility. Free parking is located in the lot adjacent to the Rose Garden.
