Description
The 34-acre UC Botanical Garden is one of the most diverse landscapes in the world, with over 10,000 types of plants including many rare and endangered species. Organized geographically, the Garden features 9 regions of naturalistic plantings from Italy to South Africa, along with a major collection of California native plants. The Garden was established in 1890 and its living collections are invaluable resources for international research and conservation.
Every year from mid-June to mid-August the Garden’s Education Program offers Green Stuff, a fun hands-on science day camp for children ages 5 to 10.
