Education: Self-Guided Tours

Tour Brochure (click on the brochure image to download a pdf file. Some brochures are formatted for non-standard paper sizes. If you'd like a printed copy, pick it up at our entrance kiosk.)

The UCBG Education and Horticultural staff have pooled their knowledge to offer several interpretive tours. We provide them in pdf format here - not to replace a Garden visit, but rather to pique your interest and help you choose an interesting starting point for your next visit.

	The Chinese Medicinal Herb Garden A special collection of over 100 herbs used in the practice of traditional Chinese medicine.		Serpentine: unusual soil and its plants Serpentine is the state rock of California. These soils have exceptional physical and chemical properties.		Summer Tour This seasonal tour of the Garden takes you in a circuit and takes about an hour and a half. It starts in the Plaza at the Garden Entrance.
These tours offer you the opportunity to explore the Garden's many offerings, through our staff's wealth of horticultural experience, on your own schedule.
