Rose Day celebrates the 3,000 roses in the garden in their first full bloom of the season. For 95 years, the Rose Society has been stewards of the garden, planting rose bushes and tending to them throughout the season. Rose Day activities include: performances by Fountain City String Quartet (12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.), Amy Lynn Studios Chalk Art (12 p.m. - 3 p.m.), Floral Art photo op (selfie opportunities), Florasource KC (12 p.m. - 3 p.m.), and a children's art exhibit. Children's activities include: sidewalk chalk and a selection of temporary floral tattoos. Extension Master Gardeners of Greater KC will be available at Rose Day, offering expert, research-based horticulture advice on cultivating flower gardens that attract pollinators. We'll also have engaging activities suitable for gardeners of all ages. Come learn and have fun with us! For more information, visit www.kansascityrosesociety.org.
