Award-Winning Books, School Visits, and Workshops
My junior high school English teacher invited me to a book club at her house last weekend. A few houses down from her lives Ruth the Rose Lady. Almost every square foot of her plot, including the parking strips, are covered in roses, each labeled.
Luckily, Ruth confirmed I’d gotten my rose facts right (phew!) and then took us on a tour of the rose garden.

Beautiful roses. Love the Fairy house. I I love book clubs and was hoping to hear something about that too!
