Event 2: UCLA Botanical Gardens

For my second event I decided to go to the UCLA Botanical Gardens. I have heard many good things about the garden and decided it was time for me to finally visit. Once I got there I was shocked to see how big it was. It was filled with so many different birds that I was able to see on the self guided tour.  I was unable to see all the birds that were in the brochure but I really enjoyed what I was able to see.

After seeing the birds I decided to walk through the gardens. As I was walking through the garden I was able to see many beautiful flowers and other plants. The garden had such a diverse collection of plants. I really enjoyed being able to go around and learn more about the garden itself. The tour guide said that they are working on making the garden completely self sufficient in irrigation. I found that especially interesting because by becoming completely self sufficient that would help conserve water for the rest of the environment.

Overall I really enjoyed my visit to the garden. I was able to visit a place on campus that I had not been to before. Before going there I was not sure how much I would enjoy it but after my visit I was very happy with my decision to attend the event. I would highly recommend going to the UCLA Botanical Gardens to see everything that it has to offer.
