How to experience the arboretum
The arboretum includes areas in the southern part of the campus. The area that is included in the arboretum is highlighted on the map. Much, although not all of the area is accessible to persons with disabilities. You can start your arboretum tour anywhere within the arboretum, although it is probably easiest to begin in Parking Lot H (the lot closest to the tennis courts).
Plants labels include the following information:
- Identification number and year of planting
- Scientific name
- Common name

The arboretum is divided into areas to help you to locate plants. The identification number includes an abbreviation for the areas below:
- TC=tennis courts

- GS=Gavilan Creek (Streambed)
- UP=upper pond
- UL=upper parking lot (lot E)
