A Great Morning at Island View Nursery in Carpinteria!

Good morning, Pumpkinistas!

The world tour stopped in Carpinteria yesterday morning for a well-received workshop at Island View Nursery in Carpinteria. It was great to see Lisa Cullen and Leanne Findlay of Garden Gossip radio/Montecito Landscape in the audience! Lisa and Leanne are now veteran growers.

Then, it was another couple hours of driving to the next stop: Miner's Ace Hardware in Morro Bay. The drive has highlighted by a lot of wildflowers, particularly poppies, growing beside the road.
