Featuring holiday gifts and decorations unlike anything you’ve seen!  

Arboretum artists have been busy for months creating stunning succulent and dried flower wreaths and works of art for this enchanting Arboretum fundraiser. This is the only collection you will find that draws from the Arboretum’s rare and extraordinary collection of amazing plants! 

These items make the perfect gifts and decorations that will last throughout the holidays. In addition to beautiful wreaths and centerpieces, offerings will include succulent and tillandsia driftwood pieces and terrariums; stunning items created by local artisan woodworkers, unique succulents in handmade vessels, dish gardens, and DIY wreath-making kits for those of you who want to try your hand at home. 

The UC Santa Cruz Arboretum is a 50-year-old treasure and beloved destination for the central coast and local community that seeks to inspire stewardship of the world's biodiversity through research, education, and the conservation of rare, endangered, and extraordinary plants.
