About

Forestiere Underground Gardens

Forestiere Underground Gardens is a unique historic site in Fresno, California, consisting of a network of subterranean rooms, courtyards, and passageways. Created by Sicilian immigrant Baldassare Forestiere over 40 years, the gardens feature fruit-bearing trees and grapevines growing underground through skylights. It is a testament to human ingenuity and a cool retreat from the valley heat.
