Join us at our General Meeting on September 12th to hear award-winning rosarian, Danielle Hahn, speak on the history of Rose Story Farm. Danielle Hahn and her husband Bill started Rose Story Farm in 1998 on their fifteen-acre farm in the Carpinteria Valley in Central California. Rose Story Farm began in 1998, when they decided to try growing 1000 rose bushes on a half-acre of their lemon and avocado farm. The couple imagined an old-fashioned rose farm, with the radiant hues of European and pre-1950 American varieties in bloom across their farm. They named the farm Rose Story Farm because roses are central to some of the family’s most enchanting experiences of their family-owned business.
Danielle Hahn was born in Santa Barbara and attended local schools until she entered Stanford University. She graduated with honors three years later, with a BA in psychology and a minor in Italian. Returning to Santa Barbara, she opened a series of retail establishments while at the same time being the founder and managing partner of an innovative marketing firm that designed and launched events and premiere parties for the entertainment industry. Danielle was honored with the Great Rosarian of the World award in 2014. Rose Story Farm and Danielle have been featured in Santa Barbara Magazine, Wine Country Living, Sunset Magazine, Oprah Magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Veranda, and The Wall Street Journal just to name a few. Television coverage of Rose Story Farm has been presented on California Heartland, A PBS special, The Today Show and Martha Stewart’s Living online series American Made.

Meeting & Speaker: Greg Salmeri and Laurie Resnick
2025-10-10 09:30 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Laguna Presbyterian Church, Tankersley Hall, 415 Forest Ave., Laguna Beach, 92651, United States
Join us at our General Meeting on October 10th to hear Greg Salmeri and his partner Laurie Resnick speak on decorating for the holidays with plants. Greg and Laurie have spent decades transforming indoor environments using plants, furnishings and decorative flourishes. The pair began their 32-year partnership as interior plantscapers, an element of their business they still maintain, along with the Associated Group, which produces large-scale holiday decorations.
They are the owners of Rolling Greens, which is comprised of 2 acres of landscaping, garden and a home design emporium in the Arts District in Los Angeles, in addition to 2 additional stores in Studio City and Beverly Grove. Greg and Laurie spent three years planning and constructing the 15,000 square foot showroom that contains various smaller spaces ranging from a prep kitchen to a gallery, and the other adapted into a greenhouse. This magnificent store is the flagship of Rolling Greens. This is where they developed the concept of a full-service gardening store that then developed into an event space as well.
Greg loves to collect eclectic items from around the world and then find perfect homes for each piece. From Opium beds, French wrought iron chairs to fountains to everything in between. He loves French modern and loves to create a super eclectic space in his own spectacular home garden. Greg states that his love of the garden came from his mother, who was an avid gardener. Greg is an incredible friend of the Laguna Beach Garden Club and he opened his magnificent Emerald Bay Garden to the club for the 2019 tour. That began the legacy of tours being sold out, thanks to his incredible generosity. This meeting will surely be a packed house to see these speakers show us how to decorate like they do for their celebrity clients!
Join us from 9:30-10:00 a.m. for social time and refreshments, the meeting begins promptly at 10:00 a.m. Meetings are held at Laguna Presbyterian Church in Tankersley Hall located at 415 Forest Avenue, Laguna Beach, Ca. Non-members are invited to attend for free on their first visit.
No parking in the Church parking. Plenty of street parking available.
