Underground Gardens
When my parents were here, we went to these cool underground gardens in Fresno on Memorial Day weekend. This guy dug all these tunnels and rooms underground (in his spare time) to stay cool in the summer (can you imagine living in Fresno with 100-115 degree heat in the summer and having no AC?) and pretty much live in. He was a citrus fruit grower before he came to the US, so he wanted to experiment with growing citrus trees "underground"... meaning in underground courtyards that had sky lights or were open on top to let the sunlight in. He did it though; pretty impressive to grow citrus trees 15 feet into the ground.
