The UCI Arboretum is private property of the UC Irvine university campus. It is a beautiful area filled with flowers and plants like cacti and succulents and is connected to the marshes of the San Joaquin Nature Reserve. The last two pictures are of the marsh.
Beautiful garden. Really recommend here. It is possible to contact them for a guided tour.
I wish it was open more, I'd love to visit more. It sounds like it used to have more funding, but it's been almost entirely cut. It needs more love and it will be an even more beautiful place!
I walked around the outside with kidss after church. Open only mondays with a tour you have to book. Looks great and wanna go through the effort to take my boys in.
This arboretum is visibly underfunded by UCI, but the director of the arboretum clearly cares about the plant life here. There is a wide selection of cacti and aloe, a great place to learn about their various species. They also have a few coast Redwoods, and it's always fun seeing our state tree down south, where it doesn't grow natively.
Definitely worth the trip, and you can experience the entire place in about an hour.
