Exploring Los Angeles | Rolling Greens – Garden & Nursery Mecca for the Modern Home
One balmy Southern California weekend in July, I had the opportunity to explore an eminent garden center in Los Angeles called Rolling Greens. I had learned about this comprehensive, family-owned garden center from their smaller shop in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles. But it is the larger flagship center in Culver City is where our afternoon was spent, and these photographs were taken.

According to their site, the Culture City location boasts 3 levels, 6 greenhouses, over 1.5 acres of nursery! Offering the largest pottery + container collection in the Greater Los Angeles area, spending an hour or two perusing the natural and artistically made beauty is a real pleasure.

There are flowers and plants artfully arranged and all available for purchase, some integrated in beguiling fashion in the nursery’s outdoor spaces, and some hosted inside for those seeking to add the benefit of soothing greenery to interior spaces.
