I'm a very rural Country gal. City life isn't really me. So when I see something like the Luther Burbank Home in the middle of a city the size of Santa Rosa... I stop and take time to really "see" it. The gardens are all well maintained by the volunteers. Or docents, as they like to call them here. The... More

We arrived early and had a great tour of the house and grounds. The docent was well informed and able to answer so many of our questions. Burbank's work was amazing.

Luther Burbank Home and Gardens are a wonderful addition to the Santa Rosa, California attractions. We visited the site due to Paramahansa Yogananda's friendship with Mr. Burbank.

He was persistent and worked very hard to achieve his excellent results. The gardens... More

the history of Luther Burbank and what he did for this area is amazing and you will get a really good look at his efforts when you visit the gardens and home of this famous resident. I love flowers and plants, and have been visiting this place since I was in grade school. Enjoy

If you like botanicals, this place will excite you. Beautiful grounds, especially if you go in the Spring when the flowers begin to bloom and the trees flower. You'll see what and how Luther Burbank created hybrids, as well as his home and the hot house he used for his experiments. Plenty of off-street parking assures you can spend hours... More
