Savoring Sonoma County

Petaluma's Garden Valley Nursery provides an eye feast of blooms of every color, and it is only 30 minutes from my house.  I am amazed that this is my first visit to this delightful 5 acre plant potpourri.




Since I have grown up in this area, I am always amazed when I find a gorgeous spot or fantastic restaurant that has been around for years. Such is the case with this charming nursery, the scene over the years of many a wedding.

We prowled the grounds enjoying the many plant varieties and ended our visit with the attractive gift shop where, I am happy to say, my wallet stayed in my purse.
I'm adding this one to my list of Sonoma County treasures.

  2. Looks awesome. Rather nice having restaurants in nurseries, happens a lot over here and some are surprisingly good. One of my favourite things to do is breakfast at a local nursery

  5. What a lovely nursery. I work close to many nurseries and often scout plants for jobs we're installing - which I love! I'm certainly improving my plant knowledge and my home garden gets more varied...

  6. I love the charming little building. I want that in my backyard. If that were my home office, I just know my muses would party, sending great ideas my way. How lucky you are to have such wonderful places so close.
