My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Betty Vickers Passing

7 years ago

So very sorry to announce the passing of Betty Vickers, long-time champion of old roses. She will be deeply missed.

    I never had the good fortune to speak with Betty Vickers, though I think our paths crossed at conferences at least once (Lakeland?). However I have been hearing her name in connection with various heritage rose events since some time in the late 1990's. Many people in the OGR community will feel this loss keenly.

    My sympathy to all those who knew her personally.
