Continuing a public-private partnership, the Board of Supervisors approved a 20-year agreement with the Los Angeles County Arboretum Foundation for the operation of the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden.
Effective July 1, 2013, the agreement enhances operations at the 127-acre historical garden and botanic garden famed for its colorful displays of plants from all over the world — including a number of rare and endangered species.
Located at 301 North Baldwin Avenue in Arcadia, the Arboretum is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the grounds closing promptly at 5 p.m. The facility offers tram tours and frequently hosts special events. For more information, go online to www.arboretum.org or call (626) 821-3222.
