when it comes to west coast garden style, i can think of few places i admire more than flora grubb. the first time i visited this incredible san francisco nursery/shop was with heidi and i think i would have stayed all day had their not been the promise of a delicious lunch on the horizon. so i was thrilled to hear from susie nadler at flora grub about her new business venture ‘the cutting garden‘, a cut flower studio at flora grubb gardens.

susie’s husband is flora’s business partner and after talking and working with flora, they all decided that fresh flowers would be a great way to expand the services offered at flora grubb. the cutting garden designs a wide range of beautiful arrangements (made from seasonal, california-grown materials) or your home, special events, or offices, and also runs a beautiful floral blog on the flora grubb site. one of susie’s goals is to help people become comfortable with cutting from their own gardens and arranging stems themselves, so susie will be helping customers with tips and tools of the trade for keeping the look of cut flowers going in your home. i’m so excited to check out the cutting garden in person, but until then i’ll be staring at these arrangements on a regular basis. if you’re in the area, drop by flora grubb to check out the new cutting garden, or visit them on the web right here. looking for valentine’s day gifts? flora grubb has a great online v-day selection right here.

Where can I find a planter like the one that looks like a stone (in the second image montage)? Is that a real stone or something faux? I love it!

i’ve seen them at all sorts of different garden stores. terrain in PA (shopterrain.com) sells similar styles, as does sprout (sprouthome.com). but if you’re in cali flora grubb obviously sells them (may be worth a call to see if they’ll ship to you). i’d try gardenweb.com and see if their sources would help. might be worth trying something like vivaterra.com

I sure hope somebody lubbs me enough to flora grubb me.
i LOVE flora grubb. she’s amazing and her shop/gardens is absolutely stunning. i go there often, like i’m going to a park to walk around. it’s so peaceful there. plus they have a mini ritual coffee counter in the shop. i wrote about a recent trip to flora grubb gardens just yesterday and included a few photos. http://bit.ly/9nUvFf
Flora grubb has a lot of great stuff. They have a new vertical garden planter for succulents now as well.

I absolutely love Flora Grubb! I just happened to run across a post about her and her studio on a different blog this morning and I absolutely swooned over well… EVERYTHING! Thank you so much for this article.
Wow, so many Australian natives. I can see waratahs and banksias. Strange to see them used outside Oz.
