The City of Santa Barbara Parks and Recreation Department will host its annual Rose Pruning Day on Saturday, January 13, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Mission Historical Park.
A January tradition for almost 40 years, volunteers are invited to spend the morning at the A.C. Postel Memorial Rose Garden to prune the approximately 1-acre garden in preparation for spring growth. In recent years, the event has drawn up to 100 people. The Department is seeking up to 150 volunteers for the 2024 event.
