The Denver Botanic Gardens remain closed for our May meeting so we’ll have a virtual meeting!

“Marcus Aurelius suggested that we view reality with an eye toward understanding what everything is in and of itself. This is how I have always viewed the garden. It is a world of reciprocal and cooperative effort all geared toward one thing, life. Gardeners grow a garden with the help and support of the beneficials – the pollinators, the predatory insects and spiders. In my view, in of themselves the beneficial insects are the foundation of organic gardening and the first citizens of the garden”. Barbara Carvallo

Barbara retired early from the work-a-day world to become a Master Gardener. It took a few years as she was finishing the writing of a novel. After becoming a Master Gardener, her next goal was to join the Denver Rose Society and become a Consulting Rosarian; she hopes to achieve the latter this summer. She planted her first rose in her father’s rose garden in Denver’s Little Italy when she was eight years old.
