Seeking new opportunities, 21-year-old Fred Yoshimura left his home in Yamaguchi, Japan for California in 1917. He saved enough money to lease a parcel of land that he used to open the Mission Nursery in 1923. It would blossom into a major commercial success. We now know it as the San Gabriel Nursery and Florist. This year, it's celebrating its 100 th anniversary.
