I visited Roger's Gardens in Irvine with a friend today for the first time. Boy oh boy was it beautiful! The Christmas arrangements inside the front door were stunning. I loved the addition of lime green into this wreath. Cyclamen is a Christmas staple in Southern California gardening. Evidently this is a Southern California snowman. Did you know that Santa has felted boots? This poinsettia is absolutely gorgeous! Unfortunately I do not remember it's name. These rain chains were one of my favorite things. I really, really would like one, but they are oh so pricey! This one was a little different. Of course they have beautiful plants! These are Aeonium's. They have beautiful gardens. It was a gorgeous day, but then the clouds rolled in and it started to rain. Back inside there were collectibles and Christmas decorations. These adorable bears were by Vickie Smyers for Bethany Lowe designs. They were so sweet! Glitter and sparkles were everywhere. This photo is blurry, but I wanted you to see the tree made with jewelry, in this case watches. I think it was $900.00! Lots of paper decorations made by Ashley Carter of Goldbug Studios. On the way out we noticed these adorable trains that were delighting an excited little boy. After our little foray to Roger's Gardens we had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory. I think this needs to become a yearly field trip at Christmas time. It was a very lovely day!

Even if you're feeling a bit like Scrooge this year a trip to the famous nursery and shops of Rogers Gardens in Corona Del Mar warm your heart. This is not just any nursery...it is 7 acres of botanical beauty and at Christmas time they deck out the entire site with ornaments and gifts for all ages and interests The interior gift shops feature these amazing Christmas trees, each with a theme The trees are so packed with ornaments you can barely see the green. At the base of each tree are baskets filled with the items of each theme for purchase This year was amazing. I didn't count the amount of trees displayed but it had to be close to 30 I especially liked this tree called Bohemian Bourgeois. It was sitting in a bright red chinois pot atop a painted cabinet with lots of blues and golds Nutcrackers anyone? Throughout the shops are tables of books, boxes, cache pots, faux floral arrangements and candles. They sell an amazing variety of orchids and interior plants. I loved this table made from reclaimed wood with the vintage roof cupola as a center piece More gifts and gardening supplies. This collection of fun birdhouses was really great The selection of forced bulbs and poinsettia was just beautiful. They also have a floral studio where you can have them create a custom center piece in your own pot or basket. I have an old butter churn that I am going to have them do for me, which I will share later This is the vegetable/herb garden area. So many fun and different things to plant this time of year! Notice the hanging herb baskets in the background. Succulents have also become a specialty for Rogers. They have an annual contest for the most creative water-wise garden for local gardeners The hanging baskets have been a signature for the last 20 years or more and they are still a favorite of mine. This is really a great gift to give any time of year and the baskets last a very long time as well Here is my purchase, from this trip. The wreath is fresh eucalyptus and the little pots are paper whites. I left feeling very inspired and what a great way to spend and hour.
