Why become a member of the
Friends of the Palomar College Arboretum?
The success of a campus Arboretum depends on funding and
volunteers. During the past 40 years, many people have contributed
their time and money to this endeavor. As of January 2011, our Arboretum is finally
looking like a real botanical garden.
It still needs a lot of work, including
wheelchair accessible trails and an irrigation system.
With the addition of the Cactus and Succulent
Garden, a campus landmark dating back to the early days
of Palomar College, the Arboretum has become an
impressive botanical collection.
But all of this would have never occurred without
dedicated people who really cared about the future of
Palomar College.
Four Ways to Help Support the Palomar
College Arboretum:

the Palomar College Arboretum.

There are numerous advantages to a campus
Arboretum:
It is a beautiful botanical garden with walking trails
and benches, a place for outdoor lectures within walking
distance of campus classrooms, a quiet and relaxing
study and picnicking area for students and staff. The
sciences, photography, physical education, anthropology,
art, performing arts, and communication classes have
used the Arboretum as a place for field trips and
research. The valuable coastal sage scrub preserve and
archeological sites, exchange programs with other
botanical gardens have enriched student learning. The
Friends of the Palomar College Arboretum will be giving
two student scholarships.
Today,

Arboretum develops into a first class botanical garden. Please join the Friends of the Palomar College
