At the intersection of two busy downtown Santa Rosa streets, Luther Burbank Home and Gardens is a park containing the former home, greenhouse, and gardens of the noted American horticulturist. Garden Curator Rachel Spaeth wrangles dedicated student and community volunteers to keep this historic landmark an ongoing center of learning and beauty.
