2C, Luther Burbank Home & Gardens

Studying LBH&G is important, because without the discoveries that Mr. Burbank discovered, modern-day agriculture as we know it would be completely different.

Luther Burbank H&G plays a crucial role in the agriculture in California, and in turn has played a huge role in creating, and forming the county that we live in. At Mr. Burbanks home he created over 100+ unique plants, shrubs, and fruits/vegetables. These are still found today, not only in the county, and state, but in quite a few places in the United States, and maybe even around the world.

Whilst taking a tour of the home, and garden I saw many unique things. A spine-less cactus, the Santa Rosa Plum, maybe different types of shrubs and trees that were created on the property numerous years before that were still flourishing. The colors were amazing, and the smell was overwhelming (in a good way). All you could hear was the birds among the trees, and the water running from numerous fountains strategically placed around the property.

My choice is about the man that undisputedly and single handedly changed how people perceived agriculture in California and numerous other parts of the USA.

What led me to my choice was pure curiosity. My grandfather was Deputy Agriculture Commissioner in Sonoma County for 30+ years and he, before his passing, taught me numerous things about agriculture, and now I thrive to learn more.

I would like to know where Luther Burbank is buried.

While reading blogs, I ran across Anthony's blog (http://tfrye.blogspot.com/)
He researched Oakland Museum. I was not aware that Oakland had a museum. He was aware that not a lot of people knew that Oakland had a museum, because in his writing he said "Many probably do not even realize Oakland has a museum. "

I learned that Oakland has a Museum, and I would like to Visit it. It sounds extremely interesting.
