Free apple pressing.
I have used, and volunteered at their apple press during the late summers. This is a free way to get all your apples pressed.
Gardeners delight
A must see to get the feel for this famous botanist and creator of so many new and unusual as well as native plants to the area.
Disappointing for Sonoma County
Self-guided tour using brochure. Numbers are missing on many plants, plants missing where signs are, some plants are neglected and not pruned properly. The plants for sale look very sad. Only stayed...
