ucsc arboretum印象

My wife and I live in the mountains above Santa Cruz, and love to go out walking. This is one of our favorite places to walk -- quiet, nicely organized arboretum layout, plants are from all over the world and are well labeled, no one bothers you.

I stop here every time I come to visit my daughter attending UCSC. Great gardens, plants and trails, Well sectioned and a terrific shop. I purchase my succulent wreath frames here. Love this little gem.

Very interesting collection of plants. I found plants from Australia and New Zealand that I had not seen before. It is hard to find the entrance if you take the incorrect route, maybe stop and ask.

I was lucky as the day I decided to to to University of California Santa Cruz arboretum was the same day it was also "free" admission day. I enjoyed walking the 1/4 mile Hummingbird Path and seeing all the beautiful and unique plants.

I just love to walk around and look at what is blooming. They have a wonderful gift shop and you can purchase plants there as well. They are not just the ones you see in big box stores...they are unique and beautiful. I have a few in my garden that are doing very well.

I came across a brochure at the hotel for the Arboretum and was looking forward to going as admission is free the first Tuesday of the month. Neither the address listed on the brochure, or the listing my GPS found got us there. Oh it got us to the campus, but there was no signage near the address listed to direct us to the arboretum. I think if you are going to have brochures made for an attraction it should list the specific address to get there, not just for the entrance to the campus. After driving around for 30 minutes, we just gave up. Hence the low rating. ( the next day I came across a different address when surfing the web, but didn't want to be frustrated again if we couldn't find it, so I didn't bother to try again.)

Perhaps Spring is the best time to visit this place. We went there today (end of July) & while it has quite the variety, everything needs to be watered. The place appeared unkempt and neglected. Most plants (except for the succulents) were dried out and browning. Even the drought-tolerant species looked parched. I wanted to turn on a sprinkler. I am sure that when it rains, the place looks more luscious, but it was a disappointment to us. That said, if you are a true plant lover, you will likely enjoy the variety of Australian, South African, & Kiwi plants in the garden. The little gift shop has some really unique gifts.

Nice place to take a stroll and learn about plants fro Australia, New Zealand, South África and Calofornia. I believe th we spring would be a better time to visit. it was very hot and dry and out of the plants had bloomed, but the walking paths are nice. There are lots of birds and this is also a location the Monarch butterflies migrate to in the large Eucalyptus grove. Worth a visit

A lovely arboretum off High St. with lots of native California plants and a lovely little gift shop.
