Living in Santa Rosa, California, I have visited the Luther Burbank Gardens many times. This was Burbank's home for many years and surrounding it is the astounding evidence of his work in the production of new species and varieties of plant life. At his childhood home in Massachusetts, Luther watched his brother graft an apple tree with great interest and begged him to bring seeds back from California when he visited here. Henry Ford, Jack London, and Thomas Edison were a few of his famous visitors in Santa Rosa.
From the time Burbank read Charles Darwin's ?Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication? at age 19, his passion for plant experimentation was fueled. He has been called the world's most famous gardener and a hero of the 20th century, as well as a victim of it. His belief in the inheritance of acquired characteristics differed from the scientific, geneticist views of the day and his work was controversial.
