You can make a difference!
Be a Friend of the Rose Garden.
Like many public parks, the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden has limited resources, but volunteers can make the garden bloom again. Many feel a special connection to the Rose Garden, the location for countless graduations, weddings, and family picnics. The Rose Garden also is a welcome respite from the hectic pace, a peaceful place to “stop and smell the roses.” The January 2010 pruning event brought out over 900 volunteers from throughout the valley. It is truly a regional effort with people coming from cities throughout the Bay Area.

Certification is simple. No experience is necessary, we will teach you our easy methods. Participate in a one-hour training, then volunteer for total of 5 hours in one month to receive their stylish green vest! We provide the distinctive green vest with Friends of the San Jose Rose Garden logo which identifies you as a Master Volunteer. We even provide free embroidery of your name! Wearing your vest with the FSJRG logo enables you to volunteer at your own pace, whenever you want.
