High Point Rose Garden is removed from Hershey Gardens. The growth of trees in the area provided too much shade for the roses to thrive. It is replaced with a new Native Plant Garden made possible by donations from the family of Marcus Sanford. With the removal of the High Point Rose Garden, the total count of rose bushes is taken down to 3,000 with 115 cultivars (from a previous count of 3,500). [Event began in September 2021.]
