Roger’s Gardens Is My New Favorite Place!

9 May

Roger’s Gardens is a family owned home and garden wonderland in Newport Beach, California. The grounds are filled with flowers, trees, plants, fountains, pottery and buildings that house more plants, furnishings and collectables. It’s like a huge indoor/outdoor gift shop with the cutest, unique stuff. From books to candles to cards to perfume, I wanted everything!!!! You can walk the grounds for hours just looking at the scenery and shopping. There are stations where you make your own arrangements, pot your own plants, and my favorite- a butterfly tree, where you write a wish on a wooden butterfly and tie it to the tree.

The cherry on top of it all is an amazing restaurant situated overlooking the lower gardens! The restaurant, Farmhouse, is beautifully chic with covered outdoor seating complete with a gazebo. It’s stunning and the farm to table food is so good. I feel like we went at the perfect time, the reservation was at 2:30 and then we walked around the gardens after. We were there until they closed at 6 but could’ve easily walked around longer because it was that pretty. I bought a milk weed plant and a small coffee table book. Overall, I loved it and can’t wait to go back, especially during holidays, they are known to go all out with their decor for Halloween and Christmas.

The S/S ’14 Elie Saab collection was very botanical chic with plenty of beautiful color, lace and embellishments!  I loved  how the collection went from gorgeous garden hues to dark and stormy! It evoked a midsummer night’s dream feeling!  So feminine and Pretty pretty pretty!!!!!
