The Flower Farm, Loomis, CA

The first time I drove out to The Flower Farm to meet Gerry, I didn't have my camera with me. Gerry wanted to do a 70 mile bicycle ride on Saturday, 7/25, to celebrate his birthday. He stopped here at The Flower Farm for a break. I drove out to meet him and remembered to take my camera this time. The Flower Farm is a nursery. There is also a coffee shop, flower shop, gift shop and also a B&B and a large barn that is rented out for large events. The first time I was out there, things weren't really in bloom yet. It is so pretty out there, quiet and peaceful even though Auburn-Folsom Road, a busy thoroughfare, is right there. This view is from the patio on the back of the coffee shop looking out to Auburn-Folsom Rd. Fresh, cut flowers sold here.

There are numerous metal animal sculptures scattered around the nursery. Here's a huge frog sitting on a lily pad.



They have a small produce stand on the property. All locally grown produce.
Beautiful heirloom tomatoes at $3/lb

See how I managed to get our van in the background.Some of the plants either just growing there or for purchase.

  2. I put a full album on my Facebook. In fact that's what I'm going to do now with my pictures. Since Blogger wants to mess up when I am uploading pictures. I managed to get these pictures and the birthday pictures uploaded without any problem, then when I tried to do another post, the pictures were not uploading completely. I got frustrated and said forget it. I'll try again.
