Rogers Gardens

I know we have posted about our love of Rogers Gardens before...but they are constantly changing just like the seasons....here are some of the latest goodies we found there..

~~Click on the photos for a larger glimpse~~


Hand formed planters


A wall of greens when you enter...it's hard to imagine the scale by the photo.


Artwork and collectibles can be found in their gift shop.


How about this metal Louie shoe for planting a dainty flower!


Handmade gifts abound there.


There are several twig chandeliers in one of the gift sections.


Bunnies just waiting to pounce into some fortunate child's basket.


Plants aren't just potted~they are given a finished look with rock or plant treatments, etc. at their base.


Check out the flowering wonky tree. It zigs this way and that. There are a number of them in the espalier section. There are several fruited espalier varieties. 


This is a living evergreen canopy. 


Topiary olive tree with succulents at base. 


A leftover from Valentine's Day!


They have a florist shop--pictured are the forced blooming branches.


Even the ladies room has a grand entrance.


No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you~for real this is a yellow-green section of plantings. Even the accent rocks have yellowy moss. It looked surreal in person.
