SUMMARY:A Year in the Rose Garden
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Richmond Rose Society Show\, join us for a special workshop A Year in the Rose Garden\, free with Garden admission. \nPre-registration required due to capacity limitations. \nThere is not much difference between a rose garden and any other sort of garden.  All gardens require a series of simple tasks performed on a relatively flexible schedule. The results of that attention to your garden will reward your effort. This program gives a month-by-month outline of what to do to have a rose garden you love. Connie Hilker is a longtime rose collector and operated Hartwood Roses\, a former specialty rose nursery. Hilker will be selling and signing copies of her book Heritage Roses: A Collection of Essays and Lessons after her program. \nMasks: Our Garden continues to follow CDC recommendations and state guidelines for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Properly worn masks are required for indoor class participants regardless of vaccination status. Non-vaccinated participants are also required to wear masks when outdoors and unable to maintain 6 feet of social distancing. The Garden reserves the right to implement additional safety measures.

SUMMARY:Protecting America's Founding River
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the vast watershed of the James River\, its importance to the ecology of Virginia and the threats facing its vitally important role in that ecology. \nIn the first class of this two-part series\, we explore the rich history and diverse ecology of the James River\, examine the effects of pollutants on plant and animal species\, and investigate the environmental regulations established to protect this natural resource and improve overall water quality. In the second part\, explore the specific practices modeled that will not only beautify the landscape but also protect the watershed. \nParticipants receive extensive information on water regulatory guidelines and how to conduct an assessment of a residential-scale site. An annotated map of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden allows participants to visit the Garden on their own to explore examples of mitigation tactics in place. This program is supported by a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency. \nWhy study the James River? It is a historically and ecologically important river in Virginia flowing over 400 miles from its headwaters in the mountains to its mouth at the Chesapeake Bay. It is an ecosystem rich with life that is threatened by a growing human population\, sprawling urban development\, and increasing levels of pollutants. \nThis is an online class conducted via Zoom.
