San Mateo Arboretum, Botanical garden in San Mateo, United States.
The San Mateo Arboretum features various sections with pine, oak, cedar, and redwood trees spread across multiple acres within Central Park.
John McLaren planted the initial collection of trees over 100 years ago on the William Kohl property, establishing the foundation of the current arboretum.
Marion Panaretos founded the San Mateo Arboretum Society in 1975, creating a volunteer organization dedicated to horticultural education and garden maintenance.
The arboretum opens from 11 AM to 2 PM on Saturdays and Sundays, offering guided tours and plant sales managed by knowledgeable volunteers.
The adjacent Japanese tea garden, designed by Nagao Sakurai, represents the sister-city connection between San Mateo and Toyonaka through its authentic landscape design.
