Organic Herb Plants

Established in 1984
Artists Rosemary Nightingale & Tim Friesen settled on their 'home place' 27 years ago. On five acres there's natural habitat,  a meadow, creek, terraced vegetable gardens, hillside of lavender, herb gardens, potting shed, nursery, and gift shop. They  love outdoor living. Tim's inspiring art can be seen throughout the gardens and gift shop. Rosemary lectures locally and at  the San Francisco and Seattle Flower & Garden Shows. The Squaw Valley Herb Gardens have been featured on PBS 'California Heartland',  HGTV's 'Gardening by the Yard', 'Hey Kids, Let's Cook', the 'Herb Quarterly' and 'Homestead' magazine.
