Created By: L.A. Arboretum
The L.A. County Arboretum & Botanic Garden (first known as the Los Angeles State and County Arboretum) was conceived as a collection of woody trees and shrubs from around the world from which suitable selections for landscaping the then booming suburbs could be made. It was thought that placing the Arboretum's acquisitions in areas corresponding to their geographic origen would not only be a good way of organizing the collection, but could also add to the Arboretum's museum-like appeal.
The geographic collections were originally as follows:
Later on the following geographically distinct sections and exhibits were added:
This tour will guide to each section, describe it, its collection, and highlight key plants in it. Please enjoy the tour!
