Learn the basics of pruning …Why, When and How to prune. You will be amazed at the rewards of your effort.

Pruning and caring for your roses is not a mystery, but it can be intimidating if you are not sure of what to do. Your roses will be healthier, which will promote larger flowers from bud to full bloom. Pruning prevents tangled messes of thorns and dead canes which are unattractive. Pruning will also promote new growth by allowing air circulation and light to penetrate your shrubs.

Santa Lucia Day opens the Christmas season with the oldest daughter of the household adorning herself in a long white gown, red sash and a glowing crown of candles. She wakens the family members with the Lucia song and serving saffron buns and coffee at their bedside. The Swedish Village of Kingsburg has adopted this very special tradition. Kingsburg celebrates Santa Lucia Day on the first Saturday in December. The sidewalks of Draper Street will be filled with arts and crafts along with specialty home baked goods, gourmet items, and Swedish entrees. There is a Gingerbread House Competition at the library and the evening concludes with a Festival of Lights Parade.
