The Gardens are open to the public from 8am to dusk every day.
We have created a Scavenger Hunt around the Gardens. Luther’s wife Elizabeth wearing her sun hat can be found in 30 locations. Find 20 of them, fill in this Google Docs form or print out this pdf, and receive a small packet of sunflower seeds, hybridized by our Garden Curator over the last several years.
We have posted a free coloring book – Luther Burbank: the Man Who Could Make a Flower

In California, Arbor Day is celebrated on March 7th, in honor of Luther Burbank’s birthday. (In many other parts of the country it’s celebrated late in April, as being a more appropriate time, weatherwise, for planting trees.) In fact California celebrates with an entire Arbor Week! Look for activities in your hometown each Spring.
