The rose garden at Helen’s Garden suffered the loss of three rose bushes due to the harsh winter. Fortunately, we were able to replace the rose bushes with funds raised through One Day For Dogs! We were also able to purchase flowers and greenery for our newly added planter in the center of the garden, along with other botanical delights to enhance the aesthetics of the garden. Be sure to stop in and browse.
