Comments: Enjoy photograpy and traveling. During my travels, I always try to seek out the local gardens. In 2015 I went on a tour of public and private rose gardens in Italy. My photographs have won awards during ARS local, district and national exhibits. We recently moved and one of my first projects was to tame a sloped area to build a terraced rose garden. As a Consulting Rosarian, I enjoy conducting home garden visits where I help educate.
