OUR STORY

The serendipitous meeting between TJ and myself began when my car broke down in 1984. He offered to help fix the fallen water pump which meant we had to spend part of a day together. As the hours progressed, something sparked between us. As TJ began sharing his dream of using the official flower of the United States, the rose, as a force for peace in the world, it awakened the deep yearning within me to leave a better world for my three children. Dreams, creativity and a sense of adventure fueled our natural alliance and blossomed into a lifetime passion of building peace in the world through our nonprofit organization, International World Peace Rose Gardens.
