A Fun Fund-raising!
Last Mother's Day weekend I participated in a fund-raising event for FilBarkada. It’s a non-profit organization, composed of employees from Southern California Edison, that raises money for MY REFUGE HOUSE, a haven for victims of sex trafficking. 24 miniature gardens were made by kids, teenagers, young adults, moms and dads. Most of them had no prior gardening experience but you wouldn’t have guessed it by looking at the results.

“It was a fun and relaxing gardening experience!” Said Freya N. the event organizer. “It was a LOT of fun! My daughter wants to do it again for her 11th bday party next spring!”

Ramblings about roses...
Roses are beautiful but they’re not very interesting without companion plants...
•
I’m not a big fan of rose gardens. Touring a rose-only garden is like eating a chunck of meat without vegetable or a heap of pasta with only tomato sauce. More is not necessarily better,
just more to be bored with!
•
Floribunda roses are my favorite. Grandiflora & tea are nice but those big blooms often look sloppy and the canes of tea are too stiff to be interesting.
•
Don’t ever give me a single long stem rose for I'll consider you unimaginative and cheap!
