The California Nursery Garden Club tends the gardens around the historic nursery office in cooperation with the City of Fremont and the Math Science Nucleus. Rock and partners bought 463 acres in Niles to found the California Nursery Company in 1884. Roeding, owner of Fancher Creek and other nurseries, bought the nursery in 1917. In the 1930s, the Fancher Creek name was dropped and the California

Nursery Company was used for all locations. The nursery grounds contain the Vallejo adobe. The park is owned by the City of Fremont. The Math Science Nucleus manages portions of the park.

Can you tell where in the gardens this was taken? We know that this is the Show Gardens, but we don't know what year. That curving pathway? What building is that in the background? Which palms are these?

MAGNIFICENT OAKS
Oak trees are a cornerstone of California's native plant community, significantly enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the Historic California Nursery. Regrettably, we lost one of these majestic trees on Tuesday. Due to a substantial crack propagating down the trunk, the City of Fremont deemed it necessary to remove the tree. Although we are relieved that the tree did not collapse and cause injury or property damage, we lament the void left behind. Nevertheless, this loss presents an opportunity for renewal, and we look forward to creating a new feature in the garden.

A single moment in time can greatly enhance one's day, filling it with joy. We captured nature in action as these two hummingbirds enjoyed a refreshing splash at the fountain on the great lawn.

Take advantage of this opportunity to acquire a specialty Cape Primrose before they are no longer available and explore a variety of discounted plants and plant arrangements.
