基本信息
加州州立大学富勒顿分校植物园（Arboretum and Botanical Garden at Cal State Fullerton）坐落于富勒顿校区东北角，占地26英亩（约10.5万平方米），由大学于1967年购入土地后逐步发展成为今日兼具教学与休闲功能的综合性植物园。这里拥有超过4000种植物，涵盖本地特有物种与世界各地引种的观赏植物，是南加州地区重要的植物种质资源库和公众亲近自然的场所。
历史沿革
植物园的历史可追溯至1967年，当时大学购入这片土地用于农业教育。1970年代起，植物园开始系统性地引种和保存各类植物，1981年正式设立为”University Arboretum”，成为校园生态教育的核心场所。1990年代，植物园增设了儿童发现花园（Children’s Discovery Garden），为青少年提供自然探索的互动空间。如今，植物园已被正式认定为美国植物园保护网络（American Public Gardens Association）的成员单位，承担着物种保存、环境教育与公众服务等多重使命。
园区特色
植物园分为多个主题区域，包括原生植物区、药用植物区、儿童发现花园、果树园以及一个专门用于教学的温室综合设施。其中最受欢迎的是全年开放的果树采摘区，游客可以在特定季节亲手采摘新鲜水果；儿童发现花园则通过寓教于乐的互动装置，向孩子们传授植物生长过程和生态系统知识。植物园还与加州州立大学合作，开设多门实践课程，供农学、生物学、环境科学等专业的学生深入学习。
游览信息
植物园免费向公众开放，开放时间为周一至周五7:00-17:00，周六8:00-14:00（周日仅接受团体预约）。建议游览时间为1.5-2小时，可从校园东南入口（Paramount大街）进入，按园区地图指引游览。游客中心提供免费地图、园区介绍折页以及轮椅借用服务。停车场位于入口附近，工作日需持校园停车证，周末及节假日免费停车。植物园还定期举办各类季节性活动，如春季植物义卖、秋季自然艺术工作坊等，具体时间请关注官网日历或社交媒体。
