The Floribunda Rose is a hybrid rose that is densely packed with petals. Its Latin meaning is ” many flowering “. During our April meeting, our club which belongs to the Cranberry District of the Graden Club Federation of Massachusetts has awarded “The Floribunda Award of Appreciation” to our very own Jamie Kelly for her dedication to our organization and her ability to be ” many Flowering”. As our Horticulture’ Chairperson, she keeps us educated of ongoing environmental issues that affect our gardens. As the ‘Civic Beautification’ Chairperson she and her committee are maintaining and adding to Beauty of our City. On behalf of the club , she has taken on mentoring the THS garden club to help foster the next generation of Gardeners who will be environmentally aware. Congratulations Jamie and may you continue to use your Talents to be “many flowering” .
