I was driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles recently, and decided to explore some out-of-the-way country roads. As I was driving into Gilroy, a bright array of colors, which turned out to be a large flower field, caught my eye. I quickly learned that this was Goldsmith Seeds’ headquarters, and the flower field is where they experiment with breeding new types of hybrid flowers. Their grounds, which are open to the public, include beautifully manicured gardens as well. Needless to say, the amateur photographer and flower lover in me had a field day.
