Visitors can once again explore the UCR Botanic Gardens which reopened June 29 after more than three months of closure due to the coronavirus. The gardens will operate on limited hours, cap the number of visitors , and have social distancing guidelines in place to keep visitors and staff safe.

The 40-acre living plant museum, with more than 3,500 plant species, is following state guidelines allowing for the reopening of parks and trails, taking a phased approach with new safety protocols.

Groups must be no larger than 10 people and must keep at least six feet away from others not in their group.
Face coverings over the mouth and nose will be required for those age 2 and up. New signs have been posted at the entrance and other areas instructing visitors of the rules.

Some physical changes have also been made to increase safety. Some pathways and trails have been widened and smoothed out in narrow areas to allow for easier passage.

The gardens will be open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
