Join the Northwest Horticultural Society at Christianson’s Nursery in the Skagit Valley for an in-person class with rose expert John Christianson. March is the perfect time to choose roses for your garden and the nursery will have peak inventory. John will discuss new rose introductions, help choose the perfect rose for you, and answer questions on how to care for roses in the home garden.

John started in the horticultural profession as a teenager, working as a greenhouse laborer at Saxe Floral in North Seattle. Later, he worked at Wight’s Nursery in Lynnwood, then managed the nursery department at Molbak’s Nursery, Woodinville from 1983-1990 – the largest nursery in the United States at that time. John’s enthusiasm for conveying his gardening knowledge led him to volunteer as a Master Gardener, and tour guide for the University of Washington Arboretum. He received his degree in Ornamental Horticulture-Nursery Management, from Edmonds Community College. An internship followed at Bourne End Nursery, Buckinghamshire, England, through Ohio State University. John is a Lifetime Washington Certified Nurseryman from the Washington State Nursery Association. John and his wife Toni have owned Christianson’s Nursery since March 1, 1990, a 7-acre jewel in the Skagit Valley. Over the years they have won numerous awards at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show for their outstanding display gardens.
