A California Favorite

 

One of my favorite places to visit while in California is Rogers Garden.  It's not a normal tourist destination.  In fact, it's a plant nursery with a gift shop.  The nursery part is huge with all kinds of lush plants to admire.  I snapped this photo of a passionflower.  That is one I'd never see in Arizona.

In addition to the huge selection of plants, they also sell patio furnishings.  I was very tempted to purchase this gorgeous pillow with the bees on it. It would look great on the chair on my balcony.

The gift shop is a whole other experience.  it is full of all kinds of decorative items. They have everything from napkins to ceramics to Christmas ornaments.  You can spend an hour or two just wandering around this place.

They also have a fabulous restaurant.  I had dinner here Thursday night.  The food is wonderful and you get to dine outdoors among all the wonderful plants.  Rogers Garden has everything.  

We happened to be there the day they opened their Halloween Boutique.  I think I'll have enough pictures from there to last through all of October.  I've never seen so many Halloween things all in one place.
