Every gardener carries someone else’s fingerprints in the soil.

Rooted in Love

Every gardener carries someone else’s fingerprints in the soil.

A grandmother who taught pruning.

 

A neighbor who shared rose cuttings.

 

A friend who showed us how to notice beauty unfolding slowly.

We invite you to honor the person who helped your love of gardening take root — especially the growing of roses and the joy found in tending a garden.

Please share a favorite photograph along with a few words, a memory, or a lesson they passed on to you. Together, we hope to create a beautiful memory wall celebrating the people whose influence continues to bloom through all of us.

Please submit your photo and remembrance to emerymedleydonations@gmail.com by September 8, 2026.
