The Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden is a 7.5-acre public garden, outdoor classroom, and research facility located on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles, California. It serves as a resource for the Los Angeles community, promoting the preservation and identification of plants through its UCLA Herbarium, which houses approximately 150,000 dried and pressed plant specimens.
With a focus on California and the Western United States, as well as Mediterranean-climate regions worldwide, the garden showcases diverse collections and offers educational resources, tours, and field trips for K-12 students. As a tribute to the Gabrielino Tongva peoples, the traditional land caretakers of the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands, the garden pays respect to the Honuukvetam Ancestors, Ahiihirom Elders, and Eyoohiinkem, acknowledging their past, present, and emerging relations.
