The 2007 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.  The children's area delighted young families with a number of great activities that educated as well as entertained.  Earth Day celebrations and healthy living activities were great new additions.

Next year's event will be held Saturday April 26, 2008, mark your calendars!
