Calling all kids, ages five through ten, for the ever-popular Children’s Mini Rose Planting and Art Workshop hosted by the Southampton Rose Society and presented by rosarian Peter Bertrand. In its fifteen year, this event seeks to foster a love and appreciation of the rose, which is now the official flower of our nation, state, and village. Peter will give a demonstration on planting and caring for mini rose bushes, and each child will pot their own rose plant to take home with them. Children will also receive an instruction booklet, The Mini Rose and How It Grows, to teach them more about these special flowers with the hope that they will form a lifelong passion for gardening and roses. Following the demonstration, children are invited to either color garden sketches by Nancy Rollins or create their own Mother’s Day cards or artwork. Crayons, colored pencils and folded blank cards will be provided. All current COVID-19 requirements and restrictions will be followed.
*Pre-registration Required. Reservations are a must as we are ordering a Mini-Rose plant for each registered child. Participants can register for this free event by either visiting the Library Family Department desk or calling 631-283-0774 ext. 519.
