Altadena, CA

Altadena- more than a foothill mountains - yes it is!

Do you like gardening? Flowers? How about azaleas and camellias?

Now that spring is arriving, I see many homes being dressed up with colorful flowers. Did you know that there is a famous nursery of growers and hybridizers of azaleas and camellias in Altadena? Nuccio's Nurseries overlooks the San Gabriel Valley from Chaney Trail. The nursery has been around since 1935 in Altadena. WOW, who knew. This special location happens to be the only remaining commercial grower in Altadena.

Go check them out if you are in the area. Make sure to call for their operating schedule.
