Luther Burbank Home and Gardens (1 acre) is a city park containing the former home, greenhouse, gardens, and grave of noted American horticulturist Luther Burbank (1849-1926). It is located at the intersection of Santa Rosa Avenue and Sonoma Avenue in Santa Rosa, California, in the United States. The park is open daily without charge; a fee is charged for guided tours. It is designated as a National Historic Landmark as well as a California Historical Landmark (#234). Burbank lived in Santa Rosa for more than 50 years, and performed the bulk of his life's work at this location. From 1884 to 1906 he lived in this park's Greek Revival house; he then moved across Tupper street to a house that no longer exists.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Jeff Elliott )〕 After Burbank's death in 1926, his widow Elizabeth moved back to the house, where she remained until her death in 1977. The gardens include many of Burbank's horticultural introductions, with collections of cactus, fruit trees, ornamental grasses, medicinal herbs, roses, and walnuts. Most plants are labeled with botanic and common names. The garden's greenhouse was designed and built by Burbank in 1889; Burbank's grave is nearby. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964.〔〔Cecil McKithan (1977-10-17) (National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Luther Burbank House and Garden ), National Park Service and (''Accompanying six photos, undated and from 1977'' )〕 == See also == * Gold Ridge Farm — ''Burbank's experimental farm nearby in Sebastopol.'' * Luther Burbank Rose Parade and Festival * * List of botanical gardens in the United States 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Luther Burbank Home and Gardens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
