Touring this botanical garden and lavender farm 30 miles east of Fresno requires an appointment, but it’s well worth the effort, especially if you’re heading to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, because you’ll pass right by on the way. At Squaw Valley Herb Gardens can choose your tour itinerary: In “Recipes and Remedies” learn about the medicines of old California and tidbits pertaining to the world spice trade.

These tales of how agriculture came to California are told while wandering among hundreds of herbs and flower varieties, planted by Rosemary Nightingale and Tim Friesen, who also provide musical entertainment and the chance to taste homemade herb treats.

Why spend a lot of money going to town for entertainment, when you can stop by our delightful Inn and enjoy cocktails with Live Music of all genres for a fraction of what you would spend. Our delightful Inn is centrally located in Visalia, known as the "Gateway to the Sequoias."
