“Good, Rich Soil is the Secret!”

The next meeting of the Santa Barbara Rose Society is on Thursday, March 12, 2020 from 7 – 9 pm at Trinity Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall. Our topic is “Good, rich soil is the secret!” Led by special guest speaker, the charismatic and knowledgeable horticultural specialist Gisele Schoniger, who represents Kellogg Garden Products. A graduate in Ornamental Horticulture from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Gisele is an entertaining presenter who will share tips on how to grow the healthiest, most beautiful roses possible. 

In her 38 years in the Gardening field, Gisele has accumulated a wide range of experience and knowledge. She has owned an Interiorscape company, worked for the State Department of Agriculture, practiced as a horticultural therapist and launched an outstanding sales career by helping establish top-selling organic gardening products.

She will also be bringing some product samples to share with attendees so this is a meeting you won’t want to miss! The meeting will also include refreshments, a book exchange and raffle.

Santa Barbara Rose Society meetings are FREE. We invite everyone to come at 7 pm to socialize before the 7:15 Little Rose Show and 7:30 pm speaker presentation. Our motto is “Come for the Roses; Stay for the Friends.”

Guests are welcome! If you grow roses, please bring your cut roses to show off and any rose plants you would like to share. We also welcome goodies for our refreshments table and items for our fun raffle.
