This past weekend, I diagnosed myself with a seasonal case of “color deprivation.”
After months spent puttering around my garden, planting this and relocating that, I must admit that I’m missing the array of color that was available at a moment’s notice – right outside my kitchen window.
Saturday was a beautiful, fall day in northern CA, so I decided to take a drive to my favorite nursery on the coast called Half Moon Bay Nursery.
This was just what the doctor ordered . . .
Row, upon row, upon row of gorgeous plants and flowers.
There, now I’ve had my fix. I even picked up a few bright green ferns and a couple purple and blue hydrangea’s to spruce up my fall garden.
Next time you’re seeing the world as black and white, visit your local nursery and take in little dose of color therapy.

I am so jealous! We’re to the brown stage here in Michigan – our color is gone and the leaves are raked to the curb waiting to be picked up. Other than a regular florist store, there are no nurseries to visit to get a color fix. I did find some panseys at a local store at 90% off and brought home 3 beautiful bowls of nice bright, cheerful flowers. That will have to do for now until I either find an escape to warmer climates or the spring flowers start peeking out!
I too am SO jealous. I ADORE the Half Moon Bay Nursery – and especially the Hydrangeas.
Looking at your photos, I could actually smell the ocean and the woods around the nursery.

Well Cassie – the visit to the nursery was definitely a “pick me up”. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyed all the color!
