Perennial garden Greater Rochester Perennial Society

For those interested in the wide range of perennials, their use and care.

We are a large and active organization, with garden tours in the summer and monthly meetings in the 'off season'. April 2005 will mark the 8th anniversary of a group of members with diverse interests and vast experience.

We meet 7PM on the 1st Thursday of the month; usually in the Auditorium of the Monroe County Co-op Extension headquarters, 249 Highland Ave, Rochester. Summer meetings are held in interesting regional gardens.
