UC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden

Being in a temperate California climate means that you can enjoy this collection of plants all year long. If you want specialized knowledge of the garden's diverse species, sign up for a docent-led tour. Many of the specimens are native, but some were brought from New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa. The pathways are mostly wheelchair accessible, ensuring an inclusive experience for everyone.
