President’s Message Thanks to all of you who made it out to the Head Over Heels pruning event at the gardens. Your hard work and dedication will pay big dividends in the weeks to come. The entire garden was pruned! Plans and preparations for the 61st annual Birmingham Rose Show is underway. I am glad to announce that Charles Prince will be co-chairing the show with me this year. Please join me in welcoming him to the Rose Show team. He, like so many of you, works hard each year to make the rose show a success. Ad Sales and Award donations are always an area of need and this year is no exception. Ad sales are slow and we need your support to make this show a financial success. Please sell an ad or purchase one in memory/honor of a loved one.
