A few weeks ago I took my first ever trip to Rogers Garden's. It was as beautiful as I had heard and was full of inspiration and amazement. Luckily I was there when a few of the Halloween goodies were marked down, and I was able to add a few fun new items to my collection. (Pictures to come in a day or two).
I headed back a few days later with my sister and two nieces and snapped a few pictures to share. (Sorry about the glare in some, it was a HOT and very BRIGHT day!)
If you haven't visited this magical place, now is as good a time as any, as all of the Christmas decor is already being set up! You won't be disappointed and you certainly will leave inspired!
I love all those pumpkins! Great pics! :)

Oh I just LOVE Rogers'! You captured their stunning visual style so well in your photos, Sara.
My mom lives nearby, so whenever I travel back to SoCal, we plan a day of wandering thru Rogers and then a picnic on the bluff at Corona del Mar. sigh. Days like that make me really miss California...and if I still lived there, I'd just go get a job creating displays at Rogers!

I can tell that the next time I head south I need to plan a day there. Between your photos and Kay's I can tell it's got to go on the "must visit" list! Do you have any excuses why this NorCal girl would NEED to head south during the Christmas season? ;-)

What a treat. I grew up in Harbor View Homes and went to Lincoln Jr High, right up the street from Rodgers Gardens. This was one of the first places we were allowed to ride out bikes to when we were kids. It's great to see it still there and as beautiful as ever. Thanks so much for sharing.

I'm so glad you finally got to go!!! You'll have to show me the goodies you bought.

Do your nieces always dress in your color palette? ;) LOVE the photos, as always. This looks like such a fun find!
