Review:

The Arboretum and Botanical Garden at Cal State Fullerton was founded in the 1970’s and is a joint project of the city of Fullerton and the trustees of the California State University. The arboretum features a museum, potting shed and nature center. Gardens and plantings include a woodlands collection, desert collection and Mediterranean collection. There is also a community garden where local volunteers grow vegetables, and a children’s garden. The 1894 Heritage House is located at the arboretum’s center, and was moved there in the 1970’s to save it from destruction. The Eastlake-style cottage was once the home of one of Cal State Fullerton’s doctors, and has been restored to reflect the Victorian era style that was popular in 19th century Orange County.
