Scope and content
Gibson's Florist & Greenhouses opened in 1938 at the site of the former Tschunko's House of Flowers, 5001 Pacific Ave., across from Stewart Junior (now Middle) School. This aerial view, taken in April of 1976, shows the extensive collection of buildings containing flowers and other plants. Known as the "the place for flowers," Gibson's Nursery closed about 1999 and was converted into "Gibson Gardens," an independent retirement community for active adults. The Gibson family never forgot to leave fresh flowers at the entrance to Gibson Gardens each morning as a gentle reminder of how flowers had built this attractive home.
