Garden Valley Ranch is a 10 acre boutique ranch growing garden roses in Petaluma, California. The property and its beautiful historic structures including guest cottages are framed by thousands of planted roses. Garden Valley Ranch was originally part of an 1880s cattle ranch. Many of the original buildings are still intact, such as the Carriage House, Belfry, Cottage, Bunkhouse. In 1982 Rayford Reddell and partners converted this to a rose-growing operation, mainly for cut roses to the floral trade. It is one of only a handful of places in the country that grow true Garden Roses (roses that are grown without cover in open fields). We also have a rose nursery with over 600 varieties of roses. Well-established gardens are a hallmark of the visitor's experience, with over 10,000 roses, and hundreds of perennials, bulbs, annuals, flowering shrubs and trees in a pastoral setting.

We wennt to General Vallejo Petaluma State Historic Park. This was the site of his ranch. There is a small fee to visit the site. There are exhibits inside and on the grounds to see. In addition, there is an amazing cactus plant that one walks by. There is also a creek.

The park is in excellent shape right now, with new trails cut in, existing trails hardened, and wildflowers just starting to bloom. The poison oak is out in force bordering the trails, and this time of year, it blends in with the green vegetation, so be careful. I don’t see how you keep your dog out of it. Enough trail variations to get in a decent 2-3 aerobic hike with wonderful vistas. Popular on weekends and deservedly so.

One of the most serene wetland area in Sonoma county. A bird watchers paradise. So many species call this place home. Up to 6 miles of trails. In rainy winters some trails are closed for the season.
