Can plants and flowers tell a story? They can if they are at Roger’s Gardens in Corona del Mar.
This spring, Roger’s Gardens is launching an immersive, sensory experience where nature, beauty, and storytelling come to life.
Dubbed “The Poetry of Spring,” this experience professes to be a living, breathing expression of the season—a time to slow down and reconnect with nature.
Throughout the Roger’s Gardens grounds, you’ll find lush florals, layered greenery and artful displays, thoughtfully composed to inspire creativity.
In addition to the foliage and displays, Roger’s Gardens offers workshops and celebrations of the season.
