“Live Well” is the nickname of UCLA’s Healthy Campus Initiative – a
campus-wide wellness movement with the goal of making UCLA the
healthiest university campus in America. The Live Well movement is
being integrated into the UCLA community by utilizing groups, programs,
activities and places that already exist on the campus. This Walking Guide
to the Gardens of UCLA encourages campus visitors to enjoy a healthy
walk to one or all of UCLA’s five beautiful garden areas.
Franklin D. Murphy Sculpture Garden
The Sculpture Garden, managed by the UCLA Hammer Museum, serves as an outdoor artinstallation for more than 70 sculptures. A visit to this hybrid park-garden is a great way to
experience art as a part of everyday life. Aesthetically, it works with the landscape to bring
together the healing aspects of art and nature.
Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Gardens
The Botanical Garden is located on the southeast corner of the UCLA campus and serves several
purposes, including a living museum, an educational tool for undergraduate learning and a means
to support campus research. Visitors to the Botanical Garden include the campus community,
Los Angeles residents and international guests, who wish to learn about the plants’ relevance to
society and everyday life. Tours of the garden are held on the first Saturday of the month.
Medicinal Herb Garden at the Center for Health Sciences
The Medicinal Herb Garden located in the Center for Health Sciences courtyard was created as
a healthy eating environment and as a way to support nutrition education for the community. The
garden was made possible from funding provided by the Healthy Campus Initiative, public health,
medical, and undergraduate student groups. Visit the Medicinal Herb Garden at the Center for
Health Sciences to learn about the health benefits of native California plants that grow around
the Los Angeles area.
Medicinal Herb Garden at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center
The UCLA Healthy Campus Initiative Medicinal Herb Garden at the Ronald Reagan Medical Center
serves not only as an educational tool for the community, but also sparks dialogue about the
traditional medicinal and natural healing properties of plants.
Living Amphitheater at Sunset Canyon Recreation Center
The UCLA Healthy Campus Initiative and UCLA Recreation living amphitheater is the first largescale edible garden on campus, which was planned and developed by UCLA students. This
outdoor learning space is used for a variety of activities, including gardening and outdoor food
preparation. The garden is located above the amphitheater seating area and incorporates the
amphitheater’s design to create a cohesive space for all to enjoy.
