Preparing for Your Ecotherapy Session

At UCLA Botanical Garden

This page will inform you of what you need to know to be prepared and comfortable for our time together.

This video gives a brief introduction about the garden and can help your mind and body to start acclimating to where we will be meeting.

Directions

We will plan to meet at the main entrance located at the La Kretz Garden Pavilion (707 Tiverton Ave. Los Angeles California, 90095). Restrooms are available in this building.

Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early to have time to park and find our meeting spot.

If you have any problems finding me or the meeting spot, you can text or call me at ‪(661) 213-9177‬.

Parking

Visitors can park in UCLA Parking Structure 2 in Visitor Parking spots. Rates are $3/hour or $13/day, and you must pay with your license plate # at a kiosk when you park.

Their website advises not to wait to pay until you return or you will likely be ticketed. Do not park in spots labeled with a permit type other than green visitor parking. There are also metered parking spots in Westwood Village and on Manning Ave.

What to Bring

I suggest bringing water, sunglasses, a hat, and/or jacket depending on the weather.

You can also consider bringing a snack, a journal and pen, sunscreen, bug spray, medications you may need, and anything else that will help bring your body comfort outdoors. For those who want to incorporate music or are sound-sensitive you can also bring headphones.
