| The 2008 Spring in Guadalupe Gardens was a
brilliant success. Thousands of people filled Guadalupe Gardens to purchase roses, vegetable and
decorative plants, get garden advice, listen to live music, and enjoy
great food. Plenty of children's activities delighted young families
as they educated as well as entertained. The Heritage Rose
Garden was in full bloom and did not dissapoint. Next year's
event will be held Saturday April 25, 2009, mark your calendars!
Please see below to what all the fuss was about!
