Iconic Business – Rodger’s Gardens
May 9th, 2010
On Saturday I went with a girlfriend to one of my favorite places in Orange County – Rodger’s Gardens.
Rodger’s Gardens is an expansive nursery and home store. They carry the most pristine plants and beautiful items for decor and entertaining. These blooms above are all fake!
They have everything from ground-cover to fully trellised bougainvillea. Their quality of their plants is what impresses me most. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dead bloom on any plant!
Walking through the gardens feels like walking through a spread in Home & Garden Magazine.
Mixed amongst the plants are gorgeous fountains and water features (all available for purchase – yay!).
In my opinion, the best thing about this place is the incredible creativity used in their visual merchandising. Each nook and cranny of the store is filled with wonderful surprises.
Springtime in the gardens is absolutely breathtaking. Christmas time in the gardens is a close second though – they string strands of white lights to the very tips of all of the trees and around all of the trellised walkways. They play Christmas music and have more Christmas decorations than even the largest Newport Beach mansion could hold. It is so magical.
Rodger’s Garden’s is my happy place. I can spend hours there designing my perfect imaginary backyard.
Inside awaits all things fabulous. French soaps from Marsielle….
Beautifully merchandised home decor…..
Subtle accent pieces….
Inspiring coffee table books on event design, interior design and entertaining…
Wonderfully intoxicating candles and home fragrances…
And a whole gourmet food section with cookbooks, inventive sauces, colored pastas and marinades. I purchased a container of peach salsa and a raspberry-orange barbecue sauce!
Last, but certainly not least, they have all different kinds of outdoor furniture and accessories. I loved the rope detail on these throw pillows. So chic and perfect for a Hamptons beach house. I hope that you all had lovely weekends filled with rest and beauty. xx

In the spring the blooms are so lovely and in the winter the holiday displays are dazzling! They also have a small refrigerated room of freshly arranged flowers – that’s my fave – and Dean and DeLuca chocolate, my boyfriend’s favorite
