Seats are really low.

Really over rated. Why is everyone so excited about this place? It’s a farm. And not a particularly scenic one either.

Nice side trip when visiting apple Hill and the placerville area

My husband and I just got married at Wakamatsu two weeks ago. We had a fabulous wedding! The grounds are beautiful and well maintained as this is a conserved piece of land owned by the American River Conservancy. There is much history there and the ARC does a wonderful job preserving it. Melissa Lobach (Development Director) was a great resource and patiently worked with us to answer any questions we had while planning our wedding there! The ARC was very accommodating while choosing our location on the property for the ceremony and reception. We decided to have our ceremony in their Japanese tea garden behind the historical Graner house. The area was mostly shaded by trees and lush greenery surrounding. We comfortably seated nearly 200 people on the grassy area for the ceremony. We were free to use the house for preparing food in the full chef’s kitchen and utilizing other rooms for getting ready for our wedding. We decided to have our reception in their newest structure on site called The Education Center. This structure is an open air building with no electricity. The ARC hung solar lights in the structure which lit the area well for the evening, however, our reception went until 10pm and we could have utilized extra lighting for the end of the night. I recommend bringing a generator with area lighting for later events (although we didn’t need anything until about 8:30). We also rented bathroom trailers and parked them near The Education Center for convenience. The property also has a small lake, open fields, a native plant garden, a Japanese Tea House, and giant blue oaks among other beautiful areas on site- all of which made a gorgeous backdrop for our celebration and photos! Overall, we were very happy with our experience at Wakamatsu and working with the ARC. The rental of the property was very affordable and we felt great that the money would go towards supporting an organization we believe in. So grateful for the beautiful memories created at Wakamatsu!

Peaceful feeling. Great low key music venue. Nipper Bros were great. Wish they would continue music through early fall.

This happened nearly 200 years ago, but I'm sure they had to work harder than we can imagine. By the way, around this time, John Manjiro, who was in the United States, apparently came to this area to mine for gold in order to obtain funds to return to Japan. As I stood here thinking about these things and looking at the plants and mountains that still exist today, just as they did in the past, like Mr. Wakamatsu and John Manjiro, I felt an indescribable feeling. As a Japanese, I would also like to thank America for still cherishing the stories of the Japanese people of the past.

Excellent Intro to Mushrooms class and walk. Learned what to note when collecting and steps to classify. Elizabeth was clear and informative. Very nice property which we saw a bit of in our foraging.
Won’t let us fish the pond
