The American Rose Society's national convention has brought about 500 people to town this week for tours of local gardens, a competition and seminars. Jerry Olson has been a rose grower and lover for more than 60 years. He's being honored this year with a new, miniature rose that bears his name: the "Jerry-O". Olson speaks this morning on a panel with other expert rosarians at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Minneapolis . He says they'll try to dispel some myths about rose-growing in Minnesota.
In 2008, Minnesota's voters passed the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment to the Minnesota Constitution: to protect drinking water sources; to protect, enhance, and restore wetlands, prairies, forests, and fish, game, and wildlife habitat; to preserve arts and cultural heritage; to support parks and trails; and to protect, enhance, and restore lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater.
Efforts to digitize this initial assortment of thousands of historical audio material was made possible through the Minnesota Legacy Amendment’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. A wide range of Minnesota subject matter is represented within this collection.
