April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and we’re celebrating the amazing teams who help keep Hudson Gardens blooming. Next up: our incredible rose gardeners! 🌹
This dedicated group is behind the beauty of our beloved Rose Garden, one of the most popular spots for wedding ceremonies, as well as rose bushes blooming throughout the property. Thanks to their knowledge and care, these iconic flowers provide a stunning backdrop for countless special moments.
Beyond the blooms, our rose gardeners also share their expertise through rose gardening classes each spring and summer. Roses can be a challenge, and they take on invasive pests, unpredictable weather, and everything in between with patience and persistence.
Thank you, rose gardeners, for helping Hudson Gardens thrive! ❤️
