Rose Test Garden

I so love going to the ROse Test Gardens, we go each year and it is so beautiful and inspirational... June, July and August are all great times to go as these roses bloom and bloom and bloom! (Did I say they bloom?) It is a wonderland for gardeners.

Something for everyone!

A great place for a quick stroll or bring a pinic and spend the day. It is fun to bring raw sunflower seed in the shell and feed the bidrs and squirrels.
