I love public gardens all the time, but I appreciate them even more during Covid. The UC Davis Arboretum is a special place. The view of the creek as you walk the paths, the serenity of the gardens, and the wonderful exercise you get there keeps me coming back when I am in Davis. I'd go every time if I could, but my daughter won't let me. I feel very fortunate she was willing to go during my most recent trip to Davis.
