The Garden Club of Weaverville May 2023 Meeting (for Club Members Only)
Tuesday, May 9th at 10:00am
Location: Buncombe County Extension Office
Program: Rose Garden Tour
Judy Deutsch has been part of the Rose Garden since its inception in 2018. With 64 rose bushes representing 20 different varieties, she’ll have plenty to show us and talk about. As the Rose Garden leader, she’s surrounded by the flowers she loves because their fragrance can fill a room, the diverse colors are never-ending and they have a long blooming season. Judy will cover how to grow and care for these wonderful plants with a short power point inside the center followed by a tour of the rose garden.
“The key to success is to plant roses in full sun and give them the right amount of water,” said Judy looking out across the Rose Garden.
A business meeting will follow the program.

The precursor of the Lake Junaluska Conference and Retreat Center in Haywood County was founded in 1913 by what is now the United Methodist Church and the Center maintains strong ties with the UMC. Lake Junaluska is framed by lush mountains, trails, and carefully curated themed gardens, including an extensive rose garden, which are meticulously maintained by Melissa Peterson-Tinsley and her team in the landscaping department.
Melissa has brought innovative techniques to the horticulture of the campus with an eye towards tending the gardens with more environmentally friendly green products and practices. Hazardous pesticides are being replaced with organic alternatives, when possible and some products have been discarded, even when alternatives are a bit more labor intensive. Melissa will share her insights and experiences regarding the ongoing process of ‘going green in a sacred space’.
Melissa has been with Lake Junaluska Assembly since 2017 and has been the Landscape Manager since 2019. She brings 20 years of horticultural experience to the table, as well as an Associates Degree in Horticulture from Haywood Community College.
