The 2003 Spring in Guadalupe Gardens was a brilliant success.  Thousands of people filled Spring Street to purchase rose, vegetable and decorative plants, get garden advice, listen to live music, and enjoy great food.  The Kid's Korner delighted young families with a number of great activities that educated as well as entertained.
