As summer approaches, many Santa Rosa residents want to get out into the sunshine, do a bit of gardening, and freshen up their outdoor spaces, and a visit to King's Nursery can be just the ticket for doing so.

Pick up a few terracotta pots to fill with bright red geraniums, cheerful marigolds, or pale pink petunias, and arrange them in your windows or on your balcony to bring some lively color to your home this summer. If houseplants are more your style, don't worry; this nursery has a whole section devoted to jade, ficus, and other standard indoor plants. Even if you don't fancy yourself a gardener of any sort, regulars say a trip to King's Nursery can be a lot of fun, as you wander up and down the aisles, learning to identify different flowers and herbs, and enjoying the fragrance of the blooms.
