This was a nice place to visit and walk around that didn’t cost anything to get but you could make a donation. It’s location on the Fullerton University campus next to the baseball fields with the cost of parking through machines. They have friendly staff...Read More

This place is a little botanical oasis. The variety of plants is fun to see. The scents of all the blossoms were incredible - even in July! Great place to take a leisurely stroll, practice some photography, or just get your steps in.

Truly a gem of find! So many native California plants and exotic plants and fruit trees! A Garden of Eden in a busy suburban area surrounded by a crazy maze of freeways. I highly recommend to escape the craziness of Los Angeles traffic. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
