Rosalie Hatfield

Master Gardener and neighbor, Rosalie Hatfield has spent decades helping out and enjoying Old Bartlett. Her own city yard is a joy to behold in any season. It is apropos that she chose the ROSE garden (or did it choose her?) as her adopted slice of paradise; she has single-handedly recreated an enduring, romantic, aromatic garden patch. Roses can be difficult and uncooperative at times. Rosalie is winning the war to tame the unwelcome honeysuckle and ensures that the roses are pampered on demand! She is no stranger to this acreage having volunteered in years past for the Bartletts and the Gourlays. Therefore, she possesses the Big View and is a constant source of encouragement and support. In addition, Rosalie is a jewel in our community, caring for other garden areas around town, serving on Belle Plaine's Tree Board and Community Foundation and is a devoted Sumner County Master Gardener. She is also known throughout the land for her homemade yeast rolls.
