Famous for being the home of renowned horticulturist, Luther Burbank Home & Gardens pay homage to the place where he lived and worked for over 50 year, as well as his horticultural genius. Born in 1849, Luther Burbank was famous for his plant breeding experiments - he introduced more than 800 new varieties of plants to the world, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains that we grow and eat today.
The house and gardens are a Registered National, State & City Historic Landmark and showcase Luther Burbank’s work over his time in Santa Rosa. The Carriage House Museum exhibits feature a variety of subjects reflecting on the work done by Burbank, such as his introduction of plums, prunes and plumcots. The grounds are open daily from 8 am to dusk year-round for self-guided tours, while walk-in docent-led tours run from April through October.
