The Luther Burbank Home and Gardens are located at the corner of Santa Rosa and Sonoma Avenues, just a few blocks of downtown. Luther Burbank was a famous horticulturist who lived in Santa Rosa. He moved here in 1875 and fell in love with the climate. During his 53 year stay in Santa Rosa he developed, improved, and hybridized more then 800 plant varieties. Some of his more famous success were the development of the Burbank russet potato, the Shasta Daisy, and the Santa Rosa Plum. Luther Burbank also planted the now stately oak trees which grace the SRJC campus. As a result, at graduation, each graduate of SRJC receives a small oak seedling. There is a greenhouse here where he began his experiments. Docents lead tours of his lovely garden and home. The tours are given Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00am until 3:30pm, April through October. For more information call PHONE NUMBER (707) 524-5445.
