Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden, Botanical garden at University of California, Los Angeles, United States.

The seven-acre garden contains more than 3,000 plant species, including tropical trees, East Asian flora, and Australian vegetation within dedicated sections.

The garden originated in 1929 with UCLA's founding, receiving initial funding from the California State Relief Administration to create municipal work projects in 1933.

The garden recognizes the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as traditional caretakers of the Los Angeles basin land where the facility now stands.

Visitors can explore the garden from 8 AM to 5 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 5 PM on weekends between February and October.

The collection features one of the largest Torrey pines worldwide and a dawn redwood specimen, a species once considered extinct.
