I visited the University of California, Riverside Botanic Gardens yesterday. This was my first visit here and I would like to come back in a couple of months when there are leaves on the trees and the roses and other flowers are blooming.
The UCR Botanic Gardens are located in Riverside CA in the foothills of the Box Springs Mountains on the east side of the University of California, Riverside campus. The gardens contain a large amount of diversity, with more than 3,500 plant species and 200 bird species. There are rose gardens, a herb garden and cactus garden, a pond and more.
The Botanic Gardens is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. except for certain holidays. There is a suggested donation of $1 for admission and there is a small parking fee. Here is a link to get more information about the UCR Botanic Gardens There are free maps and self-guided tours at the entrance.
This is a great place to wander around, relax, do some bird-watching, meditate. I spent the morning in the Botanic Gardens with some special people and in a special place. I really enjoyed my visit and would recommend this as a nice place to spend a morning or afternoon. Bring a lunch, bring a book and/or bring your walking shoes and ENJOY!
