For many years Antique Rose Forum members have populated the ranks of the volunteers at Vintage Roses, starting back in the days when it was still the nursery Vintage Gardens. The nursery has closed, but these days we are working to preserve this unique and valuable collection of roses, many quite rare. We gather at the garden in Sebastopol, work for a couple hours, then relax for lunch and rosy chat. Many strong friendships have developed over the years.

It has occurred to me that some of you might enjoy our Dirt Days. There are 3 more this fall -- October 10 (Saturday), October 25 (Sunday), and November 14 (Saturday). For the two Saturday dates, bring a packed lunch, but for Sunday October 25 we will hold a potluck. Be prepared for a feast!

We will gather at 10 a.m. If you are interested, please contact me and I will give you the address and answer any questions you may have.

I don't check my GW email as often as I should, so let me know here that you have sent me a note and I will respond.
