Monrovia Plants for a Herb Garden
If you spend any time in the garden stores, you’ll notice many independent and big box nurseries carry Monrovia plants. I am fortunate to have this post sponsored by Monrovia, so I was on a mission to find a Bay Laurel Topiary tree.
A Note About the Nester
My husband is more the gardener in the family and I’m mostly the weeder!
Thank you to Monrovia for sponsoring today’s post and helping me start my summer herb garden collection!
You see when the weather turns warm we spend most of our summer days and evenings dining outside and grilling our dinners. Delicious meals appear when I try new recipes. Lately, I’ve discovered cooking with fresh herbs is the best choice when preparing a meal. Try it sometime and you’ll be surprised at the richness this will add to your cooking. So the other day, my husband and I thought it would be fun to have some yummy herbs planted in our garden and readily available for cooking. So, I quickly made it my current mission to work on our herb plant collection and off to the store I went! Here is a store locator: Your nearest store
If you are like me, the next couple months are spent visiting garden stores. Recently, I took a trip to a great nursery that has super inspiring displays. I love the locally owned garden stores that are so knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to gardening. To learn more about plants here is Monrovia’s website that will provide answers: Garden Advice
On my trip to the store, I was eager to buy a Monrovia topiary herb tree. Ok, I had a little distraction along the way, these grape vines were screaming out to me. My husband loves to grow grapes and these Monrovia plants looked super amazing. To shop your local Monrovia Nursery, here is the store locator: Find a Garden Center
Alright back to the Bay Laurel plant. These plants look healthy and beautiful, and they will provide some great leaves that I can add to our grilled fish and chicken. I’m so excited to have a live tree in my home, and so far it is making it’s home on my kitchen island. I’ll eventually plant it out in our yard and hope that I can keep it alive. I guess if I would like another Monrovia does off online shopping: Shop for your own Bay Laurel Topiary
I’m slowly preparing our home for the summer dining and entertaining. I plan to plant our herbs in a unique place in our yard, can you guess where this location might be? I’ve decided there are some great little spots along our pool that would be a perfect place for them. They will get plenty of sunshine and water, and they’ll send their pleasant fragrance over into the pool! Get inspired and plan out your summer herb garden with Monrovia online!

Those are beautiful! I’m a nightmare at keeping plants alive inside! Luckily once things are outdoors I do a lot better 😉
happyhappynester says
Yes, I do better if I get the plants in the ground outside! Thanks for reminding me, I have to plant my herbs near my pool! Thanks for your visit and your lovely comment!

Oh how I love topiaries! I was actually looking for tall bay leaf topiaries over the weekend to go between my garages because I read they’re easy to care for {and let’s face it, that’s a requirement for me!}
Coco in the Kitchen says
I love the idea of the tabletop topiaries! There’s a cheese/sandwich shop in Pasadena where they have burlap-covered tables and a little olive tree planted in a clay pot on top of each table. I forgot all about those li’l trees til I read your post. I’m going to hop over to Monrovia and see if they have little olive trees for me.
