California Nursery Historical Park
Tuesday July 16, 2013
7:30 PM until 8:30 PM
a forgotten piece of Fremont history
Established in 1865 by John Rock and relocated to Niles in 1884, California Nursery became the largest retail nursery west of the Rockies. Trees from the nursery landscaped the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco and the 1939 World’s Fair on Treasure Island.
John Rock developed new methods of plant propagation and worked with renowned botanist, Luther Burbank. George C. Roeding purchased the nursery in 1917, and three generations of the Roeding family continued to innovate and develop California horticulture.
Joyce Blueford of the Math/Science Nucleus is organizing over 100 year’s records and artifacts from California Nursery. Hear about the discoveries she has made and learn how you can help the Math/Science Nucleus, the City of Fremont, and the CalNurCo Legacy Council turn the park into a lasting monument.
