HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

We do not have ANY photos of this Garden!

If you have an appropriate photo, please share it with HelpMeFind - see the UPLOAD PHOTO button on the Photos tab.

Please do not upload someone else's photos without their permission. Thanks!

VISIT THEIR WEBSITE
About 10 years or so ago, Lee Sherman, noted rosarian and Dean of the L.S. School of Gardening, experienced an epiphany. On a visit to Sissinghurst Castle, she feel head over heels in love with old garden roses. Upon her return to Albuquerque, she dug up almost all the grass in her yard and began to plant all sorts of roses -- shrubs, Bourbons, Hybrid Perpetuals, and... stripes. (You will find them on her page under "Odd"... don't ask why... I don't know... ask her!) She seems to have a thing for the letter O. You now know what she considers "Odd". "Old" = Old Roses. "Overflow" = Modern Roses, Austins, Shrub. "Opiates" (WHAT?!?! you say?... you heard me) = Poppies (a whole bunch of varieties and in the most exquisite colors!) Whatever you do, when you visit her site, do not miss "Obscure" (no hints on this one, it'd spoil the surprise!)
Lee's garden is lovely and magical and inspiring. Don't miss it!
