A group of UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden students and staff pose together at the Teaching Nursery, smiling and holding potted plants. They wear matching green shirts and raise their fingers to signal “number one” in celebration of the Arboretum All-Stars program. A sign with the UC Davis Arboretum All-Stars logo is displayed in front of the group. Rows of plants and nursery shade structures are visible in the background.

In the center, a repurposed stone fountain now serves as a raised planter filled with drought-tolerant vegetation. The garden exudes a peaceful, Mediterranean-inspired ambiance with abundant greenery and filtered light.
