Rose bush growers and enthusiasts in Myrtleford and the surrounding area are invited to attend this year's free rose pruning workshop at the Myrtleford Lawn Cemetery on Sunday, 24 August.
The workshop will provide the perfect opportunity for the community to get together and practice their pruning skills, with local community gardener, Alan Mitchinson, set to return as the pruning teacher on the day.
"I'll be attending to learn how to help with our rose garden at the cemetery," Myrtleford local and cemetery volunteer, Robbie Boyd said.
"I like gardening, but not pruning so much.
"I love volunteering at the cemetery as it’s peaceful and I’m learning a lot about how a cemetery works, which is more than I would have imagined.
