Nutcracker galore!
Monica O.

Roger's Gardens is such a magical place! Every time I come here, I feel like I'm transported to a fairytale estate full of the most beautiful plants and flowers you've ever seen in your life. If you want to find an amazing gift, come here! Beautiful potted plants, orchids, and just the best decor all seasons of the year! Christmas time though is when Rogers Gardens really outdoes itself with the Christmas shop! The most beautiful ornaments that you've ever seen anywhere! And it's so enchanting it really feels magical in there. They sell incredible decorations of all genres and you can spend hours in there! I've also never seen such beautiful exotic plants anywhere, and I just love the energy while I'm there. They also have amazing furniture and inside of their boutique, they sell beautiful hats and jewelry. I'm telling you it's just the most amazing place. I like going early in the morning before it gets busy in the parking lot is full, definitely make plans to come here for the holidays and have lunch or dinner while you're there at their beautiful restaurant!

Came to Roger's Gardens after hearing about it from our neighbor who loves gardening and I'm glad we finally stopped by! I was really impressed by the size of the garden and how much there is to see. There's a nice variety of plants, flowers, lawn decor, and gardening items throughout so it's a great spot if you're actually looking to pick up something for your home or garden. Even if you're not a gardener, it's still enjoyable to walk around and browse. The grounds are nicely maintained and have a very peaceful, relaxing feel, making it a nice place to wander around without feeling rushed. There's also a restaurant attached to the garden. I didn't get a chance to try it during my visit, but the setting looked really nice and seemed like a pleasant environment to sit down and have a meal surrounded by all the greenery. One thing to keep in mind: bug repellent! With the small waterfalls, water features, and all the plants surrounding the area, there are definitely mosquitoes around. I didn't think much of it while walking through but I ended up coming home with a few mosquito bites.

Love their holiday events!!! This cute little garden shop and gardens is a great way to spend an hour (or two if you eat lunch) at the beach. The weather is nearly always perfect. They have a huge selection of plants and patio/home decor. Everything is a little on the pricier side, but it's expected from a boutique-style shop. The service is always helpful and courteous. We frequent the Halloween and Christmas boutiques because they are a blast to walk through!

You can file this under Bougieee Newport activities. My mom found this location from Facebook and wanted to go see the different flowers they had. We went Mother's Day weekend and the parking was horrible. Save yourself the headache and just valet your car. We walked in by their restaurant. They have carts available for you to use. The roses were hella expensive; $100 and more for a medium sized pot. They do offer a wide range of fruits and vegetables reasonably priced (~$8) and a variety of different types of flowers were scattered throughout the garden from small to large pots (~$10 - $40's) The garden was designed nicely with small shops offering decor and gardening tools/pot. They were way overpriced imo. Overall it was fun to walk around and see the different variety of plants and flowers. I would rather go to Lowe's/Home Depot or home goods for pots and decor though.

Rogers Gardens, literally have everything you would need for Home and garden. We have been here numerous times and each time we come back, surprised, and in all of all of the gorgeous blooms gifts selections. We came for the lavender event. However, we stayed three hours shopped for gifts cards, the finest chocolates, and even found some wild blueberry jam. All of this walking around, looking at the numerous selection of roses they offer as well as lavenders. We had to stop into the farmhouse for lunch. This is the most amazing garden in Orange County's We always cherish our time here, winter spring, summer or fall .

When we think of Roger's and its history of being in business for 50 years, we are reminded of a great friendship. This blissful garden began in Costa Mesa (1965) with Roger McKinnon. Then his friend Gavin Herbert Sr. purchased it and relocated it to the lush enclave of Corona Del Mar. The historical elements and new botanical designs on the property (Disneyland Gazebo & Hanging Baskets to name a few) make for a novel experience upon each visit. At Roger's you have an invitation to dine at "The Farmhouse" and experience the cuisine of Chef Mead. He offers handcrafted meals for vegetarians and vegans. Happy 50th Anniversary Roger's Gardens!

They had such a large variety of unique and rare plants here. I ended up buying my African violet here. I also love the pretty decor they have as well. The line for the register is always crazy long though!

A good friend recommended this spot for those who luv flowers and gardening. Visiting with a special bunch we ventured through to explore the lands. Beautiful scenery with flowers of every shape size and color. Like walking into the shire during spring time. During the rose festival there were so many types of roses I never even knew existed. Julia child, Elizabeth Taylor, Martha Stewart have their own rose. It's an incredible sight to see and smell. Gardening ideas, green thumb accessories, outdoor furniture and interior decor beautifully displayed. Staff were helpful and informative. There's also a farmhouse restaurant to stop in for lunch or dinner.

This place! Its a theme park for plant lovers. Each section of the garden is designated for a type of plant - orchids, drought tolerant, sun loving, vegetable, fruit tree, and during holiday time, Christmas trees! Magnificent place to feel the holiday spirit with elaborate displays of various themes and an outdoor/covered restaurant on-site to enjoy the temperate Southern California climate. Of.course they have heaters. 60° is freezing!

I love this place! We went right after the Christmas shop opened. We lucked out and were able to see the Halloween shop, all the pumpkins outdoors, and the Christmas shop. Everything of course was beautifully decorated. Spending the afternoon here wandering around and looking at all the ornaments and decorations was just a relaxing way to spend an afternoon. We got a lot of ideas on how to decorate for the holidays. We couldn't eat at the Farmhouse because it was crazy crowded and we wanted to catch the second half of the Dodgers game. The parking here is a nightmare so try to go early. Thank God my man is patient because I think I would have just turned around and gone home but he knew how much I wanted to go see all the decorations. I will definitely return..., I love going here every year. I missed last year so I'm happy I am back for it all this year!

This place is a dream. They sell plants and accessories for your perfect enchanted garden. Not only is it incredibly beautiful but it's astonishing just how much thought has been put into the layout. Words can't really describe how special the place is. You can smell the fresh flowers and even the fruits/ vegetables. Whatever theme you're looking for, they have the colors, the figurines, the fountains and the vases to match. The employees are friendly and helpful. There's also an indoor area for household items. They have a restaurant but I didn't eat there. It's pretty pricey; there's $300 flower pots. But I guess considering the location and the one of a kind items, it makes sense.

Ask the Community - Roger's Gardens

When do the Christmas decorations get taken down? I would like to visit on 12/30/25

the decor will still be up! enjoy 🎄

Are dogs allowed outdoors?

Yes!

Does their Christmas ornaments or decor go on sale after Christmas?

Yes they do! In store only.

Is reservation required for dining?

It is not required but highly suggested. There is an extremely long wait time if they will add you on.

Is there an entrance fee?

No. It is a store/restaurant- Open 7 days a week. not a special market or event.

Do they sell byers choice caroleers?

I would suggest calling Roger's Gardens.

Is parking valet or public parking?

It's public parking, and usually pretty tight on the weekends.

Are there job openings for floral or plant arrangements?

You can find all jobs openings for Roger's Gardens on their website at: https://www.paycomonline.net/v4/ats/web.php/jobs?clientkey=18EB57EC86510D9EA9FCDC76A87D0E74&jpt=e3aed6542eec452fd354680ad58b2719

Dog allowed inside?

Yes as long as they are on a leash. Mostly small dogs.

Do they carry red wigglers (worms)?

I saw a container of earthworms for sale last week.

Do they carry house plants or is it mainly outdoor plants?

They carry everything... although the outdoor plant selection is by far the focus. I've done Nursery Crawls in case you are looking for plant shops just let me know.

Is it Dog friendly?

Yes it is. The garden section at least. Unsure of the restaurant portion

Do they sell lilac bushes?

I think I saw a few and my local Armstrong also had a lot. I do #nurserycrawls all over Southern California if you can't find any let me know.

Do they have lithops, watermelon pepperomia, or variegated string of hearts?

Yes, but I suggest calling us before you come in to make sure we have them in stock.

Will you have to pay to admission?

No, there is no fee to enter! It's basically a store.

How long are the Christmas decorations up? Are they still up now? When do they take the Christmas decorations down?

By the day after Christmas when everything is 50% off most items are very picked over and the decorations are gone. To really enjoy it you need to go in late October, early November to enjoy the full glory.

Is there anywhere else to park the parking lot is small and they additional parking is valet , so many people couldn't get a parking left after 20min of waiting?

The additional parking is free valet but that gets full, too. I agree with Cindy and get there early. I would try to go during the week to avoid weekend traffic at Roger's Garden. Good luck.

When are they decorated for Christmas?

They decorate and I'm sure its all up by now, but what they are most known for at Christmas time is their extensive displays of ornaments on Christmas trees. Exclusives and high end. Its worth it though. Check their website!

Will you guys be open on Labor Day this monday?

Is this a good place to take kids, a 4 and 7 year old?

It depends on your kids. It is a beautiful time of year to go walk around and see the decorations. There are many things to see and enjoy some for adults but kids too. Look on the website to see when Santa will be seeing children. He sits in the…

This is a family-run business with truly top-notch plants, cacti, and succulents. The quality is better than what I've seen at many of the high-end nurseries, yet the prices are far more reasonable. Everything looks healthy, well cared for, and unique. If you love plants or are looking to add something special to your yard or home, don't miss out. Support this local family business--you'll be glad you did.

This nursery has a peaceful and well-organized layout. They had a wonderful selection of popular items including indoor plants, succulents, orchids, fruit trees, flowering plants, and bonsai. Since I am into succulents it was nice to see the variety they had in stock. Only downside is the pricing of these succulents. I also looked at orchid and pondered whether to replace my indoor collection but the pricing was a bit too high for me to justify replacing all my indoor orchid plants. So instead, I picked one new succulent and one beautiful purple orchis and checked out. I also browsed their collection of ceramic planters and seasonal garden decorations to get some inspiration for my own backyard. Overall, service was good. The staff was very knowledgeable about plant care and watering tips and they gave me advice on keeping my succulents and orchids alive. HAHA we will see how they behave in the next few months. In conclusion, good shopping experience here. Will be back here if my new plants need more tender loving care advice!

Water fountains and list goes on...The price was cheaper than the other nursery that usually I go so it was reasonably priced...The workers were gem...So kind...They were so patient and knowledgeable...This place is one of the places that you can find CITRUS tree but you can bring out to the nursery and you need tell one of the employees to keep it for you aside (due to citrus quarantine). As you know bringing them out could spread problems like citrus greening disease or even pests to other healthy trees...So be cautious! Im happy that they had the tree so no problem to keep it aside till the shopping is done. Citrus pricing was great for example: 7 Gal was $79.99 plus tax and 15 Gal was $249.99. So great bargain. Inside, also is therapy...Gorgeous decoration and they were so selective about every piece they sell so it was an enjoyable shopping experience. Also, i love their return policy they have 1 year exchange or store policy and i attached it for review. I ended up buying lot of cute things that i didnt have plans to buy but its ended up another great selection to my little garden. There is also a big parking lot so no worries to find a place and YES its crowded bit you can manage it easily.
