Roger's Gardens With Family And Friends
Robin and Bob popped by and we headed to Roger's Gardens to walk the facility, do some shopping, and have lunch with Becky & Dan (Mary's daughter) and Mary & Bill Capps (friends from dancing & the Santa Ana Elks).
Did You Know? - Roger's Gardens is comprised of over 50 years of rich history.
The original garden center opened in 1965 by Roger McKinnon and was located off Fairview Road in Costa Mesa, California; answering the frequently asked question by customers, "Who is Roger?"
Through friendship, Gavin Herbert Sr. eventually bought the business from McKinnon in January of 1970. Then in 1975, he moved the company to its current location in Corona del Mar, California. It was here, where the heart and soul of the company developed.
Just little ol' us!
The shop was loaded with decorative goodies!
