Visiting Rolling Greens in Culver City, CA

Last month I visited the Culver City, CA, location of Rolling Greens for the second time, and it was just as fabulous as I remembered (first visit here). It was extra fun actually, since they had their holiday decor up—it felt a lot like a West Coast version of Terrain.

From their website: "3 levels, 6 greenhouses, over 1.5 acres of nursery overwhelm... Nestled on a hill overlooking Century City, this iconic location boasts the largest pottery + container collection in the Greater Los Angeles area."

I wandered the indoor area first...

These candle sticks! Oh how I wanted to take them home, at least one (the dark one), preferably three. They were not cheap but the main obstacle was how thin the glass was. I might have gotten away with shipping them (or packing them really well and checking them?). But instead I decided I'd try and find them locally. No success thus far.

This were pretty fantastic too.

And I loved the paper trees. My mom did something vaguely similar once that involved spray paint and folding the pages of a Reader's Digest magazine.

Naturally there were poinsettia...

And I lusted after that hourglass planter.

I'm outside now, where I admired this table with a planting pocket down the middle.

And a little moss to the side.

I walked the planter aisles...

And admired the view.

As well as the plants, of course.

Another table with a planting...

And more containers.

I don't think I made it down to the lowest level (house plants) on my last visit, and I was tempted by a few of them. Instead my only purchase was the tote bag I shared in this post.
