Korbel Champagne Cellars maintains a nice garden for 120 years. They offer a free 30 minute garden tour a few times a day.
Roses were planted 120 years ago, and they are classic roses. They bloom only once a year and have fewer petals. The fragrances are strong.
This guest house was built as a vacation house of the owner 120 years ago. And the garden was landscaped around the house. Lately this guest house is used as a hotel for invited buyers and guests.
There were a few tall redwood trees in the garden, and they were over 200 years old. The tour guide mentioned there is an Armstrong Redwood State Park near by and there are many trees over 1000 years old and it is worth to take a look. So, we drove to that state park.
The oldest redwood tree was 1400 years old and named "Armstrong Tree." Redwood trees along American West Coast are the oldest plants in the world, and there are redwood trees over 2000 years old. Their living power is tremendously strong.
