Volunteers Deadheading Roses
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.
Join us and help the keep the Rose Garden blooming!
