Quoted:
Bonfante Gardens, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is California's only horticultural theme park designed for families with young children and garden lovers featuring 19 rides, 27 attractions, 6 majestic gardens and the world famous Circus Trees. Attractions are designed to educate guests and foster a greater appreciation of the natural world and man's ability to shape it.

[HYPERLINK@bonfantegardens.org]
The park is built to showcase the remaining "Circus Trees" [HYPERLINK@bonfantegardens.org] created by Axel Erlandson in the 1920's through 1960's.
Pictured here is the "Emblem." Created from 3 American Sycamores (Platanus occidentalis). Originally grown in Hilmar, Ca and later moved to Soctt's Valley and ultimately to Bonfante Gardens in 1997.
