Forestiere Underground Gardens

When an immigrant from the Mediterranean island of Sicily arrived in Fresno around 1905, he found the summers brutal. Yet the intense sun was part of the point for Baldassare Forestiere, then in his 20s, who had visions of creating a grape and citrus empire in the fertile soil of the San Joaquin Valley.

He bought 70 acres — sight unseen. But when he put his shovel to the dirt he quickly realized he’d made a terrible mistake. The ground was like brick, too unforgiving to grow his crops. Then, for reasons no one fully understands, Forestiere started digging — and digging and digging and digging.

For 40 years he carried on, until what started as a cellar where he would seek refuge from the afternoon heat grew into a spectacular subterranean palace with passageways, living rooms, patios, a chapel, and a simple earthen home.

Forestiere became obsessed by his innovation of below-ground living as an answer to the valley’s intolerable summers. In time, he aspired to make the home into a resort for all Fresnans. He added underground grape vines, fruit trees, and even a glass-bottomed fish pond.

Our National Treasures

Fresno is a hop skip and jump away from some of the most beautiful National Parks & Forests of America.

Yosemite National Park

Not just a great valley, but a shrine to human foresight, the strength of granite, the power of glaciers, the persistence of life an the tranquility of the High Sierras. First protected in 1864, Yosemite is best known for its waterfalls, but within its nearly 1200 square miles, you can find deep valleys, grand meadows, a vast wilderness that is home to ancient giant sequoias which have been stood silently watching time pass by. Some of them have been witness to historial events going back to thousands of years, including the birth of Jesus Christ.

Sequoia National Park

Truly a land of giants – huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world’s largest trees exemplify the diversity of landscapes, life, and beauty here. Explore these pages to plan your visit or to learn about the plants and animals here and the threats they face. The seemingly invincible ancient giant sequoias are so very vulnerable.

King’s Canyon National Park

Kings Canyon National Park in the southern Sierra Nevada, in Fresno and Tulare Counties, California. The park’s namesake, Kings Canyon, is a rugged glacier-carved valley more than a mile (1,600 m) deep. Other natural features include multiple 14,000-foot (4,300 m) peaks, high mountain meadows, swift-flowing rivers, and some of the world’s largest stands of giant sequoia trees. Kings Canyon is north of and contiguous with Sequoia National Park. Majority of the park (461,901-acre (186,925 ha), except a small percentage of land drained by the Middle and South Forks of the Kings River and many smaller streams, is designated wilderness.
