Our Mission
The Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden is a living museum, having special collections designed to assist the undergraduate teaching mission at UCLA and to augment the capability for research on campus. MEMBG serves as a long-term repository for unusual plants, a refugium for biodiversity. This facility offers its educational content to the campus community, residents of Los Angeles, and visitors from around the world to enhance learning about plants and promote greater appreciation for relevance of plants to society. As a consequence, attempts are made to deemphasize uses of MEMBG as a park, especially those functions that detract from the educational goals or compromise the safety and comfort of visitors at MEMBG to learn about plants.
