The UC Berkeley Botanical Garden is one of the most diverse landscapes in the world, with more than 10,000 types of plants including many rare and endangered species. Our docent-led tour of this beautiful garden will cover the hightlights of nine regions of naturalistic plantings from six continents, including environments as diverse as deserts, redwood forests, and wetlands. After the garden visit, you will have time to explore and enjoy lunch on your own at Berkeley’s Fourth Street district, with its wide leafy sidewalks and specialty/artisan retail and dining. The Travelaires will provide a map with several lunch options within close proximity to the bus drop off on Fourth Street.
