The Arboretum is my happy place. This wonderful is changing all the time and it is full of surprises. I have no words to describe how magical this place has become to me and my children. It feels like home. We respect the no picnics rule and the no climbing trees rule and honestly it’s just a place for free nature connection. I love it, my children love it and it has become not only a place for joy and walks but also a place for play and learn. It’s our family school and it’s my main connection to nature. I grew up in Mexico city and I did not have to much nature play during my childhood except for when I was spending my summers at my grandmothers. The arboretum bring me back to my outdoor biology trips and to my free-play childhood days. I try to offer that to my children when we go there. I am so grateful to live so near by and to have free access to this unique and wonderful public space.
