Maple Rock Gardens: One of the finest private gardens in Northern California
Maple Rock Gardens is a 30-acre estate garden with numerous attractions for both avid gardeners and the general public. The 30-year-old garden is set within almost four acres of farmland and has gone through extensive remodeling since its birth.

Intricate water features and other gardening treasures make Maple Rock Gardens an unforgettable experience.
