A Quiet - Peaceful - Beautiful Place to Be

Early morning views of the Sierras and incredibly intense sunsets frame the winter months. It is the favorite time of the year for locals. At 1000 feet we have frost but no snow, cobalt blue skies and fine sun during the day, at a location that is just minutes away from the peaceful magnificence of Sequoia National Park.

Located 3 hours from West Los Angeles and 4 hours from San Francisco on five acres in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains five minutes from the entrance to Sequoia National Park, Organic Gardens is a setting to connect with the beauty, quiet and the peace of nature.

We have two living areas that can be reserved: Cottage and a Studio. Each is very private and fully wheel chair accessible. No chemicals are used in cleaning. The ambience is quite, intimate, immersed in nature.

Internet Access is available for guests.


MAY-JUNE-JULY-AUGUST:


WEATHER: By mid-MAY, we have summer weather. ORGANIC GARDENS is at 1000 feet and daytime temperatures are in the 90s. At night because we are on the Kaweah River and get the down draft from the mountains, the temperature is 30 degrees cooler than daytime. Thus, night time temperatures are in the mid-60s to low 70s. There is a lovely breeze from the mountains at night.

BIRDS: Summer sees the Red-Tailed Hawks, Scrub Blue Jays, Acorn Woodpeckers and quail who live on the property are chatting a lot. The Orioles, Ash-Throated Flycatcher, Tit Mouse and Purple Finch are here also. Mid-July through August, the RESIDENT HUMMINGBIRDS will have visitors: 30 to 40 migratory Humming birds, stopping over on their way to Costa Rica.

ORGANIC GARDENS are full of summer vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers.

SUNSETS and SUNRISES are absolutely GORGEOUS!

HIKING AND STROLLING in the National Park is excellent. Trails in the Giant Forest and Mineral King areas will be beautiful with many, many wildflowers blooming throughout the summer. Redbud and Dogwood bloom through June and July.

RIVER RAFTING for the daring is excellent, especially this year with the extra rains. Should be able to raft most of June. One can see and hear rafters from Organic Garden's deck as they make their way through the rapids below.

BIKING is always fun here as the roads run along the three rivers.
