March 11 Making Hypertufa Pots
We will meet at the art studio of Steve Hess to watch him demonstrate how to make hypertufa pots, which are wonderful additions to any garden and great for growing small roses and other potted plants. Steve will let us know about upcoming classes where you can make your own pots, and display the other garden art he has for sale. We will enjoy refreshments and rose talk, and Ruth Luhnow will be our Consulting Rosarian of the evening to lead the question and answer session on what is happening this month in the rose garden.Here is a map to help you get to there: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/9-3U8zqf4Ki_1v
