A walk through the Rose Garden at Mesa Community College with its curator includes stops at roses named Chihuly, Julia Childs and Day Breaker. This decades-old garden continues to grow and bloom each year through the work of hundreds of volunteers – and they’re ready to share their expertise.
Next month, the Mesa East Valley Rose Society’s annual rose garden tour will start at the MCC Rose Garden, with its five acres and 56 beds of roses. The volunteers will teach others how to create the same spectacles in their own homes.
