After 24 years at Monrovia, I will be seeking a new job at a different place. Keeping my love for Monrovia as a future shareholder. Here is what I will miss the most, Craftsman of Distinction luncheons. I remember earning this title in 2000. Will still be sharing photos with of plants in great designs over time. #monrovianursery #visalia #memories #movingonup #love #nursery #flashback #winner #happytimes

Bonsai Blue Jacaranda with a height of only 5' tall. Great in large pots! Less mess for sure! Great learning about these and more at Monrovia Nursery. #landscapearchitecture #tree #landscape #landarch #pretty #purple #flowers #new #gardening #nature (at Monrovia Growers)

Storm Cloud Lily of Nile has the deepest blue flowers that I have seen on a Lily of the Nile. There can be up to 100 flowers per umbel that may rise over 4' above the foliage on a dark flower stalk. Have you seen one even darker? #monrovia #distinctivelybetter #love #amazing #blue #plants #gardening #design #landscapearchitecture #gardening #blue #summer #waterwise #designfind (at Monrovia Nursery Co.)

Foxtail Fern and yes, a beautiful clean recyclable Monrovia Nursery container holds each one of these green beauties! Prefers afternoon shade for best showy performance of green foliage, but does well in full sun as long as watered regularly. #foliage #green #love #designfind #dreamy #distinctivelybetter #catchy #plant #allpurpose #landscape #landarch #gardening #greenhouse #nature #eco (at Monrovia Nursery Co.)

Japanese Painted Fern has always been a very popular selling fern at Monrovia Nursery Co. The foliage coloring is so visible and dramatic in shady, dark spaces. #nofilter #monrovia #love #distinctivelybetter #designfind #pretty #fern #foliage #drama #plant #gardening #eyecandy #dreamy (at Monrovia Nursery Co.)

Golf Ball Kohuhu is ready to roll once a craftsman does a quick clean up to tidy up her natural round shape. Notice her gorgeous chocolate branches!
