Welcome to the Davis Botanical Society!

Davis Botanical Society

The Davis Botanical Society was established in 1999 to support the collections and programs of both the UC Davis Center for Plant Diversity and the UC Davis Botanical Conservatory. Membership gifts directly support membership activities and outreach materials, the programs of the Center for Plant Diversity and Botanical Conservatory, student research grants, and publication of our newsletter Lasthenia. The Society hosts a series of events, classes, open houses, and field trips each year (see calendar).

We are a friendly group of plant enthusiasts that love to learn more about plants and get outdoors to see them!
