Fullerton Arboretum, Botanical garden at California State University in Fullerton, US.
Description
The Fullerton Arboretum is a botanical garden on the California State University campus with over 4,000 plant species across roughly 26 acres. The collection is divided into four sections: Cultivated, Woodlands, Mediterranean, and Desert.
History
The site began in 1976 from a diseased orange grove and opened in 1979 as Orange County's largest botanical garden. This transformation showed how abandoned farmland could become a public green space.
Culture
The Heritage House from 1894 stands in the garden and shows how a 19th-century physician lived and worked. The place keeps this history so visitors can see it today.
Practical
The garden is open daily and can be explored on foot, with different sections easy to reach. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and bring plenty of water, especially in warm weather.
Did you know?
The garden grows a rare fruit grove with tropical and subtropical trees not commonly found in the region. Alongside it sits a museum documenting the agricultural past and Japanese-American farming traditions of the area.
