A place to be happily lost for a day, or just an hour. It's all beautiful, but some of my favorite spots are the Garden of Fragrance, Heidelberg Hill, the bamboo groves, the redwood classroom, the native garden stone circle, and the moon viewing garden. I like to park at a secret spot along Stow Lake, where there's a path leading to the back entrance (Friend Gate) of the arboretum: https://goo.gl/maps/PasU1pW7uk82.
