Luther Burbank Home & Gardens
Downtown Santa Rosa there´s the home and gardens of Luther Burbank who was a great scientific of the late XIX century and who developed about 800 new species of plants and fruits.
The ideal season to go there for a visit is on the spring or summer because when i went everything was kind of gray, brown and pale, most of the trees didn´t have leaves and the roses where just in sticks, so... there weren´t much flowers, eventhough it was very interesting and educational to learn about this important person of the USA because i never heard about him before.
There are nice cactus and a lot of home garden plants of the begining of XX century, home gardens usually had some plants of legumes, vegetables and medicinal herbs.
A cute young cat joined me in my journey i don´t know where he came from but was very friendly and he let me cuddle him.
During winter you can not go inside the house of Luther Burbank, which looks very nice from the outside. So, the tours seem to be much more interesting during summer but as I stayed in Santa Rosa the visit was worthed.
The entrance fee was $0 but for the summer i think you will have to pay.
