  ERRC Bruin Legacy Tour: "UCLA Botanical Gardens"

  
  

  Experience the beauty of fall at the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden on Tuesday, September 15th at 11:00am. This one-hour guided tour will take you through a lush, 7-acre living museum featuring plant species from around the world, right in the heart of UCLA. Led by knowledgeable Garden Guides, the tour will highlight seasonal blooms such as the golden thryallis, paintbrush lily, Great valley gumplant, and the striking white silk floss tree. 

  The UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). As a promoter of nature at a California land grant institution, we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.
