We are pruning in the cemetery and Stephen Scanniello is coming to join us next Saturday, Jan 17! We are having a series of pruning workshops in which people are invited to come learn with us, and to help prune a few roses in the process. Here's what the Heritage Rose Foundation posted on Facebook -
The Historic Rose Garden of the Sacramento Historic City Cemetery is hosting a series of FREE pruning workshops open to all. Join the volunteers of the Historic Rose Garden for this rare opportunity to learn about heritage roses in an award-winning garden set in a beautiful cemetery that is registered as a National Historic Landscape.

The cemetery is located at 1000 Broadway at the intersection of 10th street and Broadway in Sacramento. Parking is available in the parking lot across the street.
