30 years of the San José Heritage Rose Garden

A special thank you to everyone who joined us for a memorable day celebrating the Heritage Rose Garden’s 30th Anniversary! It truly was a celebration of the passion, history, and beauty that the Heritage Rose Garden represents.

We took a moment to honor and remember Lorrie Freeman “Mother of Guadalupe Gardens”, whose dedication and love for the Heritage Rose Garden left an indelible mark. We also honored some of our longtime dedicated supporters: Tom Welch, Jill Perry, Ken Ferris, JoEllen Victoreen, Linda Gregory & Linda Piantanida for their years of service.

We are appreciative to our speakers, Supervisor Betty Duong Esq., Councilmember Michael Mulcahy, Former Councilmember David Pandori, GRPC Board President Elizabeth Loretto, & GRPC Executive Director Jason Su. We couldn’t have done it without the dedication of our volunteers, donors, and all those who have helped make this garden a lasting treasure for generations to come. Here’s to many more years of growth, beauty, and community!
