We could not have dreamed of a more perfect place to hold our wedding last May. It almost feels…read moreunreal that a place as beautiful as Garden Valley Ranch exists. The entire property is breathtaking and there is nothing better than the sight and smell of fresh roses everywhere! Our guests raved (and even a year out they're still dropping us compliments) about how gorgeous the Belvedere lawn area and Secret Garden were, which is where we held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. The koi pond is a hidden gem that we loved doing our first look at. Working with Jessica made planning our vision for the day feel so easy. She is so kind, responsive, generous, and professional. She and the team had also worked with many of our other vendors who were local to the area, so we felt at ease knowing everything would go just as planned on such a busy day. Garden Valley Ranch is a stunning place and we cannot recommend it enough. Our wedding day flew by so fast and we wished we had gotten more time to enjoy this beautiful space!

Such a charming little farm! We stopped by recently after a short Napa trip and we were greeted by…read morea staffer right after we parked in their lot. There is clear signage for parking, but it wasn't clear right off the bat where the shop entrance was so it was so nice to be greeted and taken around by the staffer! I am horrible for not remembering her name, but she was lovely and very informative. We had a memorable stop here because of her :) The shop is small but cute. I really loved their strawberry lavender lemonade and shortbread thumbprint cookies! The cookies have a strawberry lavender jam center. The lemonade had a great balance of flavor and is so refreshing on a hot day. Turns out we visited when most of the lavender was harvested. I will try to make it back again next time in May or June so I can catch a glimpse of the lavender farm when it's full! It was cool to learn that there were many varieties including white lavender. There was still a section with plenty of purple lavender where we got to take some pictures and my friend trimmed her own little bouquet of lavender for her mom. I highly recommend visiting this farm if you're in the area.

There are 3 Luther Burbank Establishments in Santa Rosa/Sebastopol: The Luther Burbank Home and Gardens- located in downtown Santa Rosa close to the freeway and the mall.

Right now there's the cutest little baby piglets. They always have fresh veggies grown on site sometimes they have fresh local meat every now and then they'll have some sort of blankets or crafts from a local artist. It's all just a very large area plenty of space for everyone. During the holidays they have a little xmas tree stand. Right now they have some homemade benches like plain wooden benches but they're really cute. I would definitely recommend it for the farm stand produce and local items but if you have children I definitely would stop by it's just an awesome place for kids to play and meet farm animals.
