2012 Weekly Challenge: BAM! (Back and Arms) It is tank top season, and nothing makes a tank top look better than toned arms and a strong back. This week's challenge will help you get both in just 5 minutes a day!

Join our Historic Rose Garden Manager and Sacramento County Lifetime Master Gardener for a free workshop on antique roses at the Historic City Cemetery, “Rose Classification Part I – Old Garden Roses.”  Learn about early once-blooming Alba, Damask and Gallica roses and repeat-blooming Bourbons, Chinas, Teas and Hybrid Perpetuals, all within the Historic Rose Garden.  The two hour workshop will include a lecture, a hands-on examination of typical varieties, and a short walk through the garden looking at some of the garden's nearly 500 old and historic roses.  Parking is located across the street from the 10th Street gate.  Tours are free; however, donations are appreciated and go for restoration and preservation of the roses and cemetery artifacts.  For more information, call 916.264.7839 or 916.448.0811.
