Historic Site! If you know who Luther Burbank is - a Must Visit
If you love history, this is the plant genius' little house (restored) and his lovely gardens that have been preserved as best they can. The elder trees tell his story!
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.
