The Mesa West Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Tempe South recently combined their efforts to renovate the rose garden at Mesa Community College. The revitalization project took place over several weekends in September. According to Mesa West President Gerald Paulus, over 40 Rotarians volunteered to help give a facelift to the community garden. "The Rose Garden is truly a gem in the east valley and the largest rose garden in the Southwest," he said. The two clubs provided funding and over 200 hours of volunteer hours to beautify the garden. "We saw a need and asked our members to help us make the Rose Garden beautiful again. They stepped up along with the Tempe South Rotary Club. Together, we will bring the Rose Garden back to its original beauty." Work included repairing a garden monument, painting walls, power washing the structures, repairing irrigation lines, pulling weeds and more. |
