University of the Philippines Arboretum, Botanical garden in Quezon City, Philippines.
The University of the Philippines Arboretum extends across 16 hectares, containing over 9,000 tropical plants from 77 different species within its forest garden.
The land belonged to Jesuit owners during Spanish colonial times before the Philippine Commonwealth government acquired it in 1938 for campus development.
The arboretum functions as an educational center where students and researchers study native plants, traditional herbal practices, and environmental conservation methods.
Located at 70 meters elevation on a natural ridge, the garden includes marked trails, information signs, and convenient access through public transportation.
This urban forest houses 47 bird species, including the Philippine pygmy woodpecker, plus 15 species of reptiles and amphibians within Metro Manila.
