University of California Botanical Garden

It was huge and very fun to explore around it.
They have a different sections of world and you can find that area’s plants.
Highly recommend and make sure to wear you hiking shoes 🥾! And spend quality time there to go around it and enjoy it.

It is a 34 acre botanical garden. There were different types of vegetation. From Asia to Africa to Australasia, Mediterranean and California, all of them were very well maintained.

It’s a good hike as well. You would need to spend at least 2-3 hours if you want to see all of them. For a detailed visit, it can easily go up to a whole day. I will suggest getting something to munch on and water to drink for a picnic like trip.

One of the most beautiful botanical gardens I've been to. Arboretum are my favorite things, and it's great to see the wide variety of plants available here. The place is spacious and you can get lost here in the different regions for the whole day if you wanted to. Loved that it isn't just a flat garden and there's areas that almost feel like you're hiking in a national park. Definitely would reccomend checking out the carnivorous plants, the giant cactus, and smelling all the sweet flowers while waking around.

Lots of variety in a relatively compact amount of land. You could easily spend a few hours here just appreciating the hikes and plants. We especially enjoyed the Asia area since it was shaded and had the most variety per square meter. There's lots of unique flora and the special exhibits change year round. Bring your walking shoes and prepare for hills.

We loved it here! Make sure you have plenty of time to walk around. Some botanical gardens are more of a park but this is definitely more of a hike through most of the sections. Some of the paths are rocky and steep so if walking is harder for you, some places might be inaccessible. Overall, amazing and large garden with a super nice staff.
