A message from the UCLA Botanical Garden:

The UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden will have a wonderful Clarkia Festival next spring, and many other public programs throughout the year. We sincerely hope to collaborate with you in the future. Thank you for understanding our decision in this most difficult time.

We will reach out to you again to be part of the UCLA Garden’s 2025 Clarkia Festival.

Join us for the first annual Clarkia Festival, named for the charismatic pink and purple blooms whose name means “farewell to spring.”

The all-day celebration will feature live music, educational activities, food vendors, and more. UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden’s Clarkia trees will be in full bloom, reflecting the diversity of California’s native flora.

Stop by the Fowler’s art-making station to create your own clay impression as a keepsake from the festival!

Free and open to the public; no RSVP required.

Special thanks to UCLA Mathias Botanical Gardens, UCLA Radio, and the UCLA Library
