Field Trip: Botanical Garden.

Kicking off the new semester, the new cohort of Studio One 2017/18 students went on an inspirational field trip to UC Berkeley’s Botanical Garden. The 34-acre UC Botanical Garden is one of the most diverse landscapes in the world, with over 10,000 types of plants including many rare and endangered species.  Organized geographically, the Garden features 9 regions of naturalistic plantings from Italy to South Africa, along with a major collection of California native plants.  The Garden was established in 1890 and its living collections are invaluable resources for international research and conservation.

Special thanks to the director of the Garden, Eric Siegel, for letting us browsing around and quite literally having a very close look at all the amazing plants.
