The Camden Garden Club and Camden Public Library plan to offer the first of five free horticulture Zoom talks from 9:30-11 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30.
The talks are titled “Sustainable Rose Gardening in New England,” “Garden Design with a New England Lens,” “Sculpture and Art at the Dallas Museum,” “Container Art; Butterfly Garden,” and “Living on the Edge: The Changing Waterfront Environment,” according to a news release from Mary Miller with the Camden Garden Club.
The season will open with Mike and Angelina Chute from Rose Solutions. This program features a modern look at recently introduced varieties and old favorites that are disease-resistant, winter-hardy, easy-to-grow roses that bloom all season.
“Sustainable roses are sturdy, attractive plants that can hold their own in a pesticide-free landscape. Whether you live in moderate coastal southern New England, the colder central areas, or the frigid far north, you can grow beautiful roses anywhere in New England and we can show you how,” said Mike Chute.
The Chutes offer many different programs about growing and maintaining roses. They will speak to the core of sustainability, explaining the different grades and types of roses, their growth habits, and how to select the best varieties for one’s garden.
The Horticulture Series is a long-standing part of the Camden Garden Club winter season. Fifty-five years ago, the club supported the first series of educational and informative talks for the community.
The Camden Garden Club cultivates the art of gardening to its fullest sense, develops and preserves beauty in and around Camden, and promotes civic improvements, education, and conservation of natural resources.
