ARBORETUM


On 2/10, my peers and I went to the Fullerton Arboretum where we were able to walk around and view the different community gardens to the Heritage House and all the different collections.  There were Mediterranean, Desert, and even Woodland collections to see throughout the arboretum.



One term we learned about during our stay, was symbiosis. Symbiosis is when to different organisms live together in close association and mutually help each other in some way.  One example of symbiosis we saw right away was a bee taking pollen from flowers (bee might not be visible in picture).



Another term we learned about during our stay is biome.  A biome is a community of organisms that are climatically and geographically defined.  Some examples of biomes include temperate grasslands or the savanna in Australia.   Here is an example of a desert biome that we came across in the arboretum.
