Our Love Affair with Gardens...




It is factual that a garden is never finished. It daily beckons us to walk in it, groom it and fill it with visual splendor. It doesn't matter if it's full of greenery, flora or just plain food-on-the-table plantings; our orafactory senses are assaulted with the smells of floral notes, earthy mulch and herbaceous greens. For years and years we have collected garden books, planted local and antique plants, piled in good earth to compensate for clay soil and water, weeded, nourished, and beheld the work-of-our-hands. It's additive! We're not alone, we know there are lots of kindred spirits out there that understand our fascination. The beauty of a well-cared-for garden is a thing to behold!

Here are a couple of our favorite sources:
Roger's Gardens (the most eye-popping nursery, makes my heart go pitter-patter)
2301 San Joaquin Hills Road
Corona del Mar, California

Rolling Green Nursery
9528 Jefferson Boulevard
Culver City, California
