Excellent Flower Adventures :: Flora Grubb, San Francisco
Ron Morgan Design in Oakland, visit this
California! Visiting Ron’s store called LOOT and attending his lecture on floral design is what started our whole Excellent Flower Adventures trip in the Bay Area. When I was in the Emergency Room all night I just kept thinking – I cannot miss his lecture! (flower addict and proud of it). Laurie and I really did rally and got a second wind of energy to make it to his lecture on time. Our friend, Marian of Savage Rose Florals, was already there, she is a huge fan of Ron Morgan. Laurie and I grabbed our seats and enjoyed the show. Ron is a hoot! He kept the ladies entertained with all his stories and his design style is so natural, he just keeps going and never hesitates where he’ll place a flower. I quite loved his designs, especially the white and green piece and the all orange piece.
Now I’m going to be a tattle-tail. I really, really wanted to get nice photographs of the arrangements for all of you to see .. however, a few of the other ladies in attendance did not act very mature – they grabbed the arrangements after Ron was done speaking and would not let the rest of us ladies take a few photographs. Ron does sell the arrangements at a very nice price after the lecture and these ladies were not about to lose the arrangements.
I’m so thankful that Laurie was able to get as many photographs as she did!
Definitely a fun lecture to attend. If you are ever in Oakland I would suggest visiting LOOT and attending one of Ron’s Lectures!

After leaving Filoli Laurie and I drove north to San Francisco, pathopsychology
we were ecstatic to get to Flora Grubb!
I have to say that if you are ever in San Francisco make sure you visit Flora Grubb. *Part* of what really gets me about Flora Grubb is its location, recipe
it’s in the center of an industrial part of SF, buy
however when you walk into their gardens you would think you’ve been transported to a faraway land – it is quite magical. To top it all off, they have a cafe inside where you can order a cappuccino and a sugary treat. Laurie and I did just so, we took our afternoon pick-me-ups into the garden and sat at a table where we relaxed and took in this whole urban oasis.
Entrance to Flora Grubb.
Here’s Laurie at Flora Grubb Gardens
This is a wood table with a runner of succulents growing in the center. This is where Laurie and I enjoyed our afternoon treats.
Our pretty little cappuccinos
love this way to display chairs for sale
How about a moss bar?
Love Passionflowers!
