In 1973 Charles (Chuck) Ades was working for Encinitas Floral & Encinitas Propagators and Bill Gish owned Gish's Pacific Flowers. Bill had bought a location on Balour Dr. in Encinitas from Tak Muto and approached Chuck about taking it over as a lease, growing carnations for Gish’s Pacific Flowers. Chuck, not interested in growing cut flowers, suggested converting the houses to accommodate growing houseplants.
