Garden Valley was established in 1852  and was named for the fact that it's residence grew and sold produce to the miners.

Tradition continues here at Berry  Heaven.  Dr. Boone  and Jean Mora planted the original blueberry/blackberry patch. Started the Goji berries from seeds.  In 2011 Dean & Terrie Cook  took over and Berry Heaven  was born.
