About the Farm
Background
Interpretive Gardens Inc has established itself as a leader in landscape development, focusing on creating spaces that integrate wildness and natural beauty. Known for their work in residential, commercial, and public projects, they have built orchards, vineyards, and gardens that thrive in the high desert environment. Their portfolio showcases a variety of successful projects that meet the diverse needs of their clients.
Practices
Their horticulture services specialize in working with nature, using plants adapted to the high desert. They focus on soil improvement, re-vegetation, and erosion control, employing methods such as permaculture and the use of native plants and pollinating flowers. They also maintain a small propagating nursery for special plants, ensuring that each project is tailored to its specific environment.
The Rest
In addition to their landscaping services, they offer a riverside event venue on the Truckee River, featuring a beautiful garden, outdoor classroom, and spaces for weddings, birthdays, and other events. The venue includes a fragrant rose collection, an iris collection, and opportunities for nature walks, summer camps, and full moon drum and dance circles. They also engage in year-round vegetable and fruit farming, as well as maintaining vineyards and orchards.
