Since 1959, the Botanical Conservatory has served the community, welcoming over four thousand students every year from UC Davis and nearby schools. The conservatory guides visitors in learning more about plants, including learning about plant and animal interactions, the adaptation process of plants to different regions, and how plants interact with the environment around them. The Botanical Conservatory is devoted to the understanding and appreciation of plants, and growing a collection for teaching and researching purposes.
