What’s Happening at the Arboretum
Many exciting ventures are planned for this summer at the Arboretum! From gardening in the Community Garden to Yoga at Oak Hammock, there will surely be something for everyone!
Gardening at the Community Garden:
The UCF Arboretum engages students and the community through experience based learning, research, volunteer opportunities, educational workshops and guided tours. Establishing new partnerships with other UCF departments, such as Wellness and Health Promotion Services (WHPS) and the Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC) is allowing us to offer students and the community more opportunities to interact with their natural environment.
