UC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden

Our gardens provide a stunningly beautiful place to hold a special memorial or celebration, a symposium, business meeting or professional training. When renting one of our indoor spaces, you and your event attendees are invited and encouraged to walk about the gardens. Benches and picnic tables throughout the gardens are open to all visitors including event attendees. All of our rentable spaces may be enjoyed between 9am and 5pm daily, as available. All rentals must be cleaned up and off the premises by garden closing time at 5pm. No exceptions and no 'after-hours' available.
