Forestiere underground gardens

5021 West Shaw Avenue Fresno, CA 93722

Like the name implies, these gardens are underground. Working alone during his spare time and using only hand tools, Baldasare Forestiere spent some 40 years sculpting an underground complex consisting of: A Network of Underground Rooms, niches, courts, patios and passageways numbering almost 100. An Underground Garden Home consisting of kitchen, nook, living room, 2 bedrooms, library, bath, fish pond, and aquarium. Arches and Stonework patterned after the catacombs of Ancient Rome. An Auto Tunnel running the length of the gardens, almost 800 feet long! A Chapel and Chapel Garden. Baldasare adorned these areas with a unique variety of trees including Strawberry, Carob, Jujube, numerous citrus (many on one tree), Pomegranate, Mulberry, Date Palm, Avocado, Quince, and Persimmon.
