OUR LEADERSHIP

Our president, Julie, has been a member of the Carlsbad Garden Club (CGC) since 2015. Upon retirement she decided she would like to grow flowers like her mom and grandmother. After several failed attempts she realized she needed help. That’s when she joined the CGC. Admitting she was a complete novice she asked for help. When questioned about what she was “feeding” her flowers, her response was, “Huh? What do you mean feed them?” Today she’s the proud parent of over 50 gorgeous rose bushes. Mom and grandma would be proud!

In a former life, Julie spent 45 years in Human Resources after obtaining a BSBA from San Diego State University. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio she lives in Carlsbad with her husband, John, and their four-legged, fury son Riley Doogles.
