A gathering of goods made in the Monterey Bay area
Known for its wide selection of plants and garden supplies, Griggs Nursery in Carmel Valley recently hosted a delightful summer indulgence. Ken and Catherine Griggs and their children Sydney and Matthew enjoyed an ice cream celebration of local purveyors, as fresh, colorful and tasty as summer itself. In addition to cultivating vibrant landscapes, the Griggs family is rooted in community service and supports CASA of Monterey County, which helps children in foster care.
