NEW! Gold Ridge Farm Gets Wormy!!
Learn about worms and what they can do for your garden. See a worm bin in action. Buy some worms to jump-start your compost pile. Experts will show you how to set up your own bin in a small amount of space.
When: April 27 & 28, Saturday & Sunday, 10 AM – 4 PM. Free.
What: Luther Burbank performed most of the experiments which resulted in the creation of more than 800 new varieties of trees, shrubs and flowers at Gold Ridge Farm in Sebastopol. Three acres of the original 18 are maintained by the volunteers from the Western Sonoma County Historical Society, and are open to the public, free of charge.
At Open House, visitors can take a self-guided tour of the grounds. Better yet, join a tour led by a Docent and learn why Luther Burbank was one of the most famous men of his day as you stroll around the paths. Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions. Burbank’s historic cottage will be open where you can see the new exhibit that displays the history of his Farm.
For Sale: Heritage Jam made from the fruit of the Farm is available in our gift shop. Plants for sale include Burbank’s Kniphofia ‘Tower of Gold’, ‘Burbank’ Rose, heirloom tomatoes, Penstemon ‘Firebird’, Shasta Daisy ‘Becky’, Amarcrinum lily, Pillar rose ‘Apple blossom’.
Where: Gold Ridge Farm is located above Burbank Heights and Orchards, just west of downtown Sebastopol on Bodega Ave. Turn into the Burbank Heights and Orchards senior housing complex at 7777 Bodega Ave. and you’ll find the Farm at the top of the hill. There is now on-site parking as well as Visitor parking at the Heights.
