Fullerton Arboretum

The Fullerton Arboretum is a passport to the world of plants without having to go far from home. Inhale the fragrances of the Mediterranean, feel the cool shade of the redwood forest, delight in the glorious fall color of the northeastern United States, hear the rustle of the palm trees, take a break in a desert oasis, laugh at the funny forms of succulents and breathe in the perfume of old fashioned roses. This collection of more than 4,000 plants, on 26 acres, is important for other reasons as well, it helps society understand the diversity of the world’s plant life and the importance of protecting the earth’s plant treasures.
