It's not everyday you get to experience natural beauty like what you'll find at the Forestiere Underground Gardens in Fresno. One of Fresno's best kept secrets, the Garden has been featured in The New York Times (2006), The Los Angeles Times (2004), Sunset Magazine (1999), and on Home and Garden Television (HGTV). One of the reasons people don't know about this wonderful piece of architecture and history is because of the relatively low key appearance passers by see from street level. Whatever it is, once you're inside the garden its beauty is sure to sweep you away. Dug out by hand over a 40-year period by Sicilian immigrant Baldassare Forestiere, the underground labyrinth features more than 90 rooms, patios, gardens and courtyards that all lie underneath a 4.5-acre piece of land. It one word it is simply breathtaking. Visitors and employees rave about the brilliant detail and precise functionality of this one of a kind space. When planning your trip, a visit to the Underground Gardens is a must as is making reservations at any of our Fresno hotels.
