Raising the Roses
There is nothing that says spring more in Duluth than the annual “raising of the roses” in the popular Lakewalk Rose Garden.
Volunteers are invited to join in on this annual spring tradition at two upcoming Rose Garden work days.
Saturday, April 27th from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon
Tuesday, April 30th 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm
City staff and representatives from the Lake Superior Rose Society will be on hand to teach volunteers the spring steps of the Minnesota tip winterizing method for tender roses.
Volunteers are invited to show up at the Rose Garden during the times listed above and are encouraged to bring gloves and dress for the weather. Register your participation by emailing cskafte@duluthmn.gov or calling 218-730-4334.
