Her farm is a primemodel for the future of small familyfarms to specialize into niche areasand succeed. She has expanded herbusiness to include the valuablecomponent of educational tours whichhelp educate her audience with theknowledge to grow healthy rosessuccessfully.Growing from a life long love of flowersand gardening, Rose Story Farm is abecome the focal point of a wonderfulmixture of business and life. From thefirst day the mission was to produce beautiful, fragrant, romantic garden roses in exquisiteshapes and colors. Now more than 18000 bushes of 120 varieties are scattered over the 15-acre farm. Tours are led by Danielle twice weekly, and awww.manhattanrosesociety.org Page 4

variety of seminars focused on garden design, rose cultivation and flower arranging are giventhroughout the year. A major theme of the educational effort is to demystify the process ofgrowing and caring for roses. “Roses are magical and forgiving–they repay any effort on theirbehalf ten-fold. We named the farm ‘Rose Story Farm’ because the roses are central to someof our most enchanting and memorable experiences. We encourage clients, visitors, and friendsto exchange their rose stories with us, and in this way to share what we find romantic,passionate, joyful and sustaining.”Born in Santa Barbara, California, in 1953, she attended local schools until l971 when sheentered Stanford University. She graduated three years later with honors with a BA inpsychology and a minor in Italian. Having played on the Stanford Tennis Team for three years,and being a ranked national junior tennis player, her first job out of college was managing anexclusive tennis club in Manhattan. Returning to Santa Barbara in 1978, she opened a series ofretail stores over the next 10 years in Southern California. At the same time she was thefounder and managing partner of an innovative gift business that designed, manufactured,packaged and ultimately delivered gifts for entertainment corporations. With the birth ofGeoffrey, her second boy, in 1993, she backed away from the majority of her businessresponsibilities to focus on her family.Her extensive experiences proved invaluable in 1998 when Danielle and her husband, Billdecided to expand the family avocado farm into a boutique rose business with the addition of1000 bushes, all of them garden roses. The farm now has over 25,000 bushes and since thattime Danielle has overseen the steady growth and development to the point where thousands ofroses are cut each day and shipped throughout the United States. Currently she manages allemployees and makes the day-to-day decisions for the business, markets the products, selectsthe roses for production, designs rose gardens for clients worldwide, designs and maintains thegardens at the farm that are used for weddings and special events, oversees the rose store onsite, and leads the way on product development–a rose based perfume and body care line arecurrently in the works.Danielle is an active member of the Santa Barbara Rose Society, the American Rose Society,and the Garden Club of America in Santa Barbara. She is the founder and sustaining patron ofthe Carpinteria Community Service Toy Fund, a non -profit organization that raises money eachyear for the families of disadvantaged field workers in the Carpinteria Valley.The excitement and beauty of this enterprise and of Danielle herself has been featured in SantaBarbara Magazine, Wine Country Living, Sunset, Victoria Magazine, Oprah Magazine, MarthaStewart Living, Veranda, and the Wall Street Journal. She has had articles published in the2012 American Rose Society Annual on both flower arranging and garden design. Televisioncoverage of Rose Story Farm has been presented on California Heartland, a PBS special, andon NBC’s Today show. Most recently, Martha Stewart Living media filmed a segment on thefarm for their online American Made series.

This is third season forthis garden and it is just now beginning to come into its own. My previous garden washeavily shaded, but this garden is in full sun. It is amazing what you can grow in fullsun!! So when you hear that a particular rose will grow in the shade, it really means itwill tolerate the shade, but grow to its full potential in the sun. We also hear that 5-6hours of sun is necessary, but more is better in the North East.As always I encourage you to stay with us as a member.
