Old Houses, Old Gardens, Old Roses: How to Tend Living History
From the event description:
Join us in the BAHA garden for a special summer exploration of rose care, culture and history. BAHA’s garden — perhaps the last estate garden remaining in Berkeley’s original 1860s college homestead tract — surrounds the historic McCreary Greer House and includes several dozen roses from small tea rose shrubs to giant climbers. This special event will bring Gregg Lowery, noted rosarian and expert in old roses, to BAHA to give two informal talks in our garden on the care, culture, and history of roses. He’ll use BAHA’s plantings to illustrate growth habits, pruning, and cultivation tips.
When: Sunday, Aug. 4, 11 a.m.-3 p.m.
Where: Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association, 2318 Durant Ave.
Admission: $15 (Sunday, Lunch for morning and afternoon attendees); $25 (Sunday morning rose garden talk); $25 (Sunday afternoon rose garden talk)

Where: The 1947 Partition Archive's Berkeley HQ, 1840 Alcatraz Ave., Suite 1
