Deadheading Info
Did you know there are over 3000 rose bushes in Ladd's Addition?
The Portland Parks Bureau assigns only one gardener (plus a small crew) to maintain them all. Thus, volunteer help during the summer season is critical to ensuring each rose bed receives the care it needs and deserves.
Every summer from June through September, FLAG sponsors Saturday morning deadheading sessions to help keep the rose gardens looking their best. Garden tools and pruning instructions are provided. It's easy! Join your neighbors for 20 minutes or an hour, whatever your schedule allows.
Look for the sign outside Palio Café to see which garden we will be working in each week.
