Rose Petals

A gift our garden brings! 


At Paradise Gardens, 
we love the colors of our roses and 
we try to preserve the many medicinal gifts they bring us!



In San Diego County, we prune our roses before our winter frost,
 which is usually late November, early December. This will bring spring blooms
for late March, early April.

Before pruning, we harvest all the rose petals for various uses.

For Weddings, Events & Celebrations

ROSE PETALS 
instead of RICE

For the bride and grooms congratulatory sending off;
instead of rice, confetti or anything un-natural for the land, one can preserve
rose petals by freezing them in ziplock bags. This lends to a more vibrant, fresh color.
Laying them out to dry can also be done and then bagged and put aside
for your special day.

Composting A Sustainable Practice on Paradise Gardens                Paradise Gardens composts as a sustainable practice. This involves the natural decomposition of organic matter into nutrient-rich soil that can be used to improve the health of plants and gardens. It's an excellent way to reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote sustainable living.  Composting is an effective way to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in the landfills. Food scraps and yard waste can account for up to 30% of the waste that households generate. By composting organic matter, we create nutrient-rich soil that can be used to improve plant growth and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers. Composting also conserves water by improving the soil's ability to retain moisture. By composting, we also support biodiversity.  It supports a healthy ecosystem by providing nutrients for plants, which in turn support a diverse range of insects, birds, and other wildlife. When organic waste is sent to
