The LA Arboretum is a botanical garden and historical sit. Within the Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden, there is a cultivation of our natural, horticultural and historic resources for education and enjoyment. The LA Arboretum allowed me to discover new plants and trees from all over the world. For instance, the arboretum's plants are grouped by geography with gardens for South American, Mediterranean, South African, Australian and North American plants. Due this experience, I gained new knowledge about more plant species and learn about the differences of plants’ anatomy. Also, I mainly toured the Tule Pond, where there are many species of resident and migratory birds, aquatic creatures, as well as numerous small reptiles and mammals. This allowed me to understand the lifestyle of these creatures. In addition, the arboretum shelters nearly 200 peafowl, which are descendants of original birds imported by Baldwin from India. These birds was a clear example of the results of evolution and natural selection. Ultimately, I was able to learn about California history after my tour of the place.
