Sunday was particularly surreal. Everybody was out. I'm talking t-shirts and shorts, biking, lunching on patios, driving the coastline. So I do what I always do when the weather is this nice. I headed to the Happiest Place on Earth. Disney has nothing on this place.
Behold- Roger's Gardens in Corona Del Mar, California.
This is not your regular garden variety garden center if you know what I mean. Roger's Gardens sits on seven acres, perched on a hilltop with ocean views just to the east of the famed Fashion Island in Newport Beach. It's laid out across several tiers of carefully curated landscape, with various indoor gift shops meandering off the perimeter featuring everything from a floral studio to candles to gourmet food fare. They also host weekly classes and events that draw garden enthusiasts from all over Orange County, particularly in Springtime.
Catering to the coastal gardner and the drought tolerant landscaping that has become so popular throughout Southern California, Roger's is just as famous for their selection of succulents as they are their rare rose bush offerings.
Though I always manage to take home a few things on each trip, I frequent the garden center mostly for inspiration.
Potted Japanese Maples flanked with black beach pebble and Sedum |
A colorful display of Coral Branch Maples awaiting their Spring leaves. Those are Cherry Blossoms to the left. Told you it has been warm. |
Weeping Blue Atlas Cedar on a trellis- very much a possible solution for our patio. They did this with Japanese Maples last Spring as well and it was insane just how pretty it looked. |
Funny little display of Owls as garden sculpture |
Elegia- a non-running reed that eventually may find a home near our fountain. How pretty would a few cut stems look in a floral arrangement? |
My long lusted after Nagami Kumquat Tree. Someday you will be mine. |
