Our 2020 UC Santa Cruz Arboretum Paintsite was just as delightful as our visit two years ago. In addition to having the largest selection of Proteas in the world, other than South Africa, the arboretum has hundreds other Mediterranean plant species including those found in the beautiful terraced succulent garden, and is an excellent spot for bird watching. Many thanks to the Arboretum staff and volunteers for accommodating our large enthusiastic group of painters. For more information on the UC Santa Cruz Arboretum check out the following link:
Several of the photos taken at our Paintsites are taken by naturalist, artist and photographer, Edward Rooks. Please check out his Flickr album for more photos of this Paintsite:
