UC Davis and its arboterum

 Hi everyone, I'm back. And I am here to talk about my visit to Davis last week with my friends. We walked around the campus of UC Davis and learned that they have a beautiful area that is their Arboretum, which is along the original path of Putah Creek, which is actually now a pond called the Arboretum Waterway since the creek is now diverted south of town (1). It is a 100-plus acre amenity comprised of demonstration gardens and scientific collections - The Putah Creek Riparian Reserve - managed for teaching, research, habitat, and wildlife protection (2). Along the pond they have many beautiful plants and trees along the path. Redwood trees, gum trees, oak trees, for example.

Other things we did that day were eating at the Burgers and Brew restaurant with my friends eating their delicious pastrami burger with fries (3). And walking the town in its downtown area which is very fun to visit with stores such as Bizzaro World, which is a fun store with comic books, retro board games and video games, CDs, and a full DVD/VHS rental/buying section, an operating 80s/90s/2000s time machine and a fun treat in the 2020s.(4) We visited the store Creme de la Creme gifts which is a cute shop with gifts for the home, for her, and for the baby, as the shop proudly claims (5). It was a very fun day walking around a beautiful town lined with trees along the streets, a beautiful university campus, a fun downtown to visit, and a beautiful parkway with plants and trees. I hope you had fun learning about Davis and I hope you can visit Davis sometime if you have the chance!! Thank you for reading!!
