Meeting - August 11, 2022

When people come out to Scott Klittich's nursery in Fillmore, Calif. (Otto & Sons), it's like entering into a paradise with more than 800 varieties of roses, a 15-acre Valencia orange orchard and more than 120,000 plants ranging in size from 5 gallons to 15 gallons. "People come here (and) it's like therapy," Klittich said. Klittich said his customers and the way their faces light up at the sight of his roses are what makes it worthwhile coming to work. He and his wife Cindy have run the nursery for 20 years. "I really like the customer, and the customer reaction is just great. People are so friendly and they're enthusiastic about getting beautiful flowers," Klittich said.
