Garden Conservancy Events 2025
Open Days Garden Tours, Mendocino County, California
Register and buy tickets online. Tickets will be available to see the following gardens starting April 1.
June 14, 2025 - Fish Rock Ranch Gardens 10-4
On a Mendocino County hilltop with splendid views, among redwood and Douglas fir forests, we developed a blend of shade and sunny gardens. Seven hundred fifty tons of rock frame hillside walkways through perennial gardens bordered with roses. There are raised beds for vegetables and cutting flowers. Several seating and dining areas take it all in. Buy tickets online starting April 1, 2025
June 14 - Woodshop Grounds 10 to 4
My grandfather got me started in his vegetable garden when I was a boy, and, while continuing that, I also became interested in flowers. I discovered organic gardening when I was in junior high in Ohio and was considered somewhat weird then; not so much today. I have been a studio furniture maker all my working life, and the garden makes a wonderful setting for my shop and showroom. I have made garden furniture from reclaimed redwood and concrete planters and border walls. I try to have something always blooming, and there will be a lot in May, including Phlox, Crocosmia, Campanula, Lychnis, Heuchera, and more. My file folder of plants is more than 2-1/2 inches thick and growing.
June 14 - Pepperwood Pottery 10-4
I moved onto my property 45 years ago with my ex-partner. She liked the garden at the Boonville Hotel so much, she had their gardener, Russell Link, wildlife biologist/landscape designer, put one in here. The perennial garden is well established with new plantings each year by my gardener, who maintains it now. There are older fruit trees I planted 42 years ago, and two grape arbors almost 100 years old. This was an old homestead, with the original house built in 1906. I did lots of gardening in my younger days and now I just make my pottery and do some of the work on the six raised beds with vegetables that I grow year-round. I have been working on propagating an older peach tree that I believe to be close to 90 or 100 years old that is totally resistant to peach leaf curl. The garden has a four-tier water fountain, which makes beautiful sounds as people stroll through the walkways and visit my pottery showrooms.
June 14 - Wildwood 10-4>
Located in a park-like setting with 150-foot-tall redwood trees and green meadows. A potager containing both edible plants and a large collection of temperate flowers and shrubs. Peonies, maples, dogwood, yew and boxwood hedges, and more than 500 plant varieties are grown. In another area is a tree/shrub/conifer collection with many woody species. The garden's estimated size is 30 acres.
June 14 - Christiansen-Arner Stone and Water Sculptures 10-4
Our sculpture garden surrounds our sculpture studio in the woods. We carve our pieces under a large crane, and the finished sculptures are displayed along an inviting path in a woodland setting. Our main feature is a large water sculpture set in a pond with a white granite background. As many of our pieces are stone-and-water sculptures, experiencing this garden is much like being in a beautiful river setting. About half of the sculptures have reticulating water moving over them. The sound this movement makes over stone combines with the abstract/architectural and natural forms to create a unique garden–art moment. Our sculptures are surrounded by clumping Himalayan bamboos, rare rhododendrons, rare camellias, diverse water plants, ornamental grasses, perennials, bulbs and many other woodland plants, all of which promote a healing and renewing environment with our art.
