Medrano's Flowers: A Blooming Love for Community
With flowers blooming just in time for spring, you’ll find no shortage of unique varieties at the Medrano’s Flowers farmers market stand. “I’m always trying something different and hoping that it’ll work,” says farmer David Medrano. “People are looking for variety, and I want to provide that variety, so they don’t get sick of the same flowers each time.”

Each week, David brings his pride for the art of flower growing along with a diverse variety of seasonal blooms, grown on his farm in Monterey County, to CUESA’s Jack London Square Farmers Market and Mission Community Market.
