Redwood Grove Exhibits
Students, faculty and volunteer community members develop the content for every permanent exhibit in the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden using an in-depth interpretive signage creation process.
T. Elliot Weier Redwood Grove
The T. Elliot Weier Redwood Grove is one of the largest collections of coast redwood trees outside their native range, along with understory plants from the redwood forest. The tall trees create a shady, silent, cathedral-like atmosphere just a few minutes’ walk from central campus. The grove is named for Dr. T. Elliot Weier, a professor of botany at UC Davis who helped establish the Arboretum in 1936.
