When a face like this greets you at the entrance, you know you're not in an ordinary nursery.
And Island View Nursery + Home Store in Carpenteria isn't. The interior feels a lot like Bali.
And the grounds feel a little like Jurassic Park, thanks to T.Rex here.
So do yourself a favor when you're in the area and drop in. This place just makes you feel good. The interior part is housed in a series of old greenhouses. And they provide such a soft, even, flattering light everything under them looks gorgeous. If we could all walk around in this kind of light all the time, no one would even think of having a face lift. Well, it was a nice thought anyway.
