| | | | Thank You for Celebrating with Us | | |
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! | | View our Facebook post with more event photos! | | | Get your 30th anniversary event poster!

Unique carousel figures are stored with History San Jose, mechanical parts were salvaged for the Happy Hollow Zoo carousel, and future park events in the area are being developed, coinciding with the expansion of Confluence Plaza and demolition of the former Ranger Station. | | | | San José State of the City | Saturday, May 17 - 10:00am - 2:00pm | Join us for San José’s 2025 State of the City!
