It must be September, or at least near Halloween, the time of year when ghoulish gewgaws materialize on the shelves of the shops we frequent.

Roger's Gardens, that Corona del Mar hub for all things home, has become the spot to see stylish and spooky decorations, gifts, and fun finds, all wrapped up in a distinctive and timely theme.
Halloween Boutiques in recent years paid playful tribute to the Universal Monsters and Jack Skellington, too; now "The Witching Hour" is brewing at the flower-packed, pot-pretty place, a favorite Orange County go-to for gardeners and plant people.
Take a peek at the garden center's 2023 Halloween Boutique now, and do visit soon, before all of the eerie objet d'art and ghostly goodies have been snapped up by early visitors.
