On-going Programs - Julia Davis Park Rose Garden

Since 1935, the Julia Davis Park Rose Garden has attracted gardeners of varying expertise who share something in common, a passion for roses.

The Rose Garden has always been a labor of love by and for the people of Boise, and you can help us keep the tradition alive by volunteering one morning each week through the summer. Garden care includes tasks such as weeding, deadheading, fence painting, trash and debris removal, and other tasks as needed.

On Friday mornings, from April through October, Boise Parks & Recreation holds weekly work sessions. In the spring and fall, work sessions are from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Work sessions get bumped to 8:00 - 11:00 a.m. in July and August, due to the heat..

All skills and knowledge levels are welcome. Our professional staff will provide direction and training for anyone who is interested in lending a hand.
