 2111 Soquel San Jose Rd. Soquel, CA .

Santa Cruz and the county have many amazing flower growers. They sell their bouquets often out front of the house or farm. Can be seen at farmers markets and a few of the AMAZiNG bakeries around this beautiful coastal community. 

I was searching for dahlia farmers which is a new trend. I'm thinking my climate in coastal southern California might work for me. 

I was a rose grower in the Central Valley outside of Wasco until a tragic turn of events had me sell all my patents to Jackson and Perkins. I really don't want to move back to the heat of the valley to start again. Toying with what I will do to be contributing and creating in my "retirement."
