Forestiere crafted a subterranean complex of patios, grottoes and garden courts, all featuring arches and stonework using the local hardpan sedimentary rock. Touring these gardens is a wonderful way to get out of the heat and tour some local history. It is also just down the street from the Fresno Chaffee Zoo. Orange, lemon and grapefruit trees were planted throughout his underground gardens – many varieties growing together on the same tree! Forestiere also grew more unusual varieties like kumquat, loquat, jujube, carob, quince and dates as well as wine and table grapes. These fruits could easily be plucked from the surface of the gardens, by simply bending down.
