    Walking the trails
    Andrea B.

    It's been several years since I've been here and I'm very pleased by all the work they've done here. They have people in the front in case you want to purchase flowers or fruit or have general questions. They used to suggest donations but now they charge by the hour. You pay online and I believe it's about $2-$4 per hour. The whole walk is very serene and relaxing. It's a great way to touch grass and just slow down from every day busy life. We saw birds, butterflies, turtles, fish, squirrels, lizards, bees and rabbits. They have benches to sit on, small waterfalls, grassy areas and trails. They grow fruit there but it's not for consumption. They also have a compost area. It's a great place for anyone that loves nature. Highly suggest it.

    Beautiful scenery and place to walk through! Plenty of benches to also sit and relax. Lots of fun wildlife for kids to interact with (turtles, fish, etc)

    The parking was a little confusing, they seem to have a private parking lot for the Arboretum visitors, but there was a sign stating 'Lot Closed' during normal operating hours. Parked across in the larger lot and paid $12, the only nearby available parking for the campus visitors. Otherwise, it was a great place to let my toddler adventure. He was so happy to explore the Children's Garden, we loved the variation of ecosystems, he especially loved the slow streams and the ponds. Awesome, quiet, tranquil place to spend a few hours. There is a gender separate bathroom available on site. The place is accessible by wheelchair and stroller friendly.

    Definitely something to see and do when visiting Fullerton if you want and outdoor experience and to be on the college campus. I think parking was $4 for 1 hour on a Saturday. The Arboretum is free but suggested $5 donation. Not really worth it in my opinion. But I am spoiled having been to much bigger, better, nice arboretum and botanical gardens. The whole thing can be walked through rapidly in about 30 minutes. It is not large. There are a few sections, and they have different flora. Maybe at other times of the year when more stuff is blooming it would be better to visit than early Nov. There was some kind of plant sale going on, so probably more crowded than normal, and it was not peaceful nor serene as others mentioned. It was ok, but I have seen better. Photos attached.

    Wow! What a beautiful botanical garden and arboretum! I needed a place to just walk after work to distress myself. This was definitely the place to visit. It's located on the CSU Fullerton campus. 26 acres of just a peaceful serene oasis. There are benches located throughout the trails. Huge trees: redwoods, conifers, and deciduous trees. So there is shade throughout the arboretum. There is a creek, pond and a lake. There is a house there to tour but it's currently under renovation. The arboretum is free to visit but closes daily at 4:00p.m. There is parking dedicated to the arboretum but it's not free. Please come and spend a day at the Fullerton Arboretum. I went by myself but I saw couples, families and friends just hanging out.

    Fullerton, CA It's been quite a while since I visited this property and on a return last week I would have to say it's so much smaller than other gardens I have visited since. Parking is no longer complimentary which is a huge bummer, I believe it is $4 per hour. The garden entrance is under construction right now so the main entrance is not accessible which really takes away from the first look at garden. It was nice to be back but with the new parking charge this garden would not be my first choice to return to.

    Located on Cal State Fullerton compass is this massive arboretum. Parking on school lot cost $4 an hour. Entrance fee is a suggested donation price of $5 per person. Lots of trees, plants, flowers. You could literally spend all day at this peaceful garden but it was raining so we never made it half way through. Will need to return another day when it's sunny.

    Not sure what just plant this one was but it looked like a brain

    Nice Arboretum, surprisingly large and I love the multiple paths you can take get to different areas. You pay for parking via an app though when we went it seemed like a lot of people were not paying. Opened in 1976, its been a Fullerton staple for awhile, the day we went there was a large group of amateur photographers with their tripods snapping photos in different areas. This is a great place for nature photography. The Arboretum's many paths wind through four major areas: Cultivated, Woodlands, Mediterranean and Desert Collections. We just came back from Joshua Tree but still loved the desert collection the most. The kids enjoyed the large pond at the beginning, there is a large turtle and duck population that intermingle with each other. You may also find birds catching fish from out of the waters. Some of the trees are also covered in ants so be careful where you lean, the kids loved following the trail to see where they were going. Toward the middle volunteers were drying flowers, bundles of which they have near the entrance and you can take home for free.

    i came where with a friend and it was such a nice escape from the busy life of oc! i didn't know this existed at all in oc. not only it was a decent size arboretum, it was free! parking isn't free, but it's only $4 per hour which is great considering it's on a college campus. at first we thought it was small, but the more we explored, the bigger it got! there were turtles and ducks near the pond area and also a nice area with projects/crafts people made :) it's for sure worth visiting to get your steps in and embracing nature!

    Free entrance and temporary free parking plus easy mainly flat nature walk w plenty of shade, what's not to like about this place. At mid 80s temp, it was hot for sweater weather so coming here in the afternoon provided plenty of cool shade and resting spots everywhere. There's not many flowers yet as it's winter easing into spring, but there was a tulip tree full of buds, magnolias are in bloom right now. A few daffodils were popping up as well. This precious nature spot in the middle of Fullerton is a great place to visit.

    This was my second time here and found new sights to enjoy! Parking was plentiful and's very close to the entrance. The parking is $4/hr and there is no entrance fee but a suggested donation. Normal bathrooms are found near the entrance. There is a cute kid's area with plenty of items to keep the kiddos busy. The one the kids in our group liked the best was the pipe organ. You press the pedals for the notes and there's easy sheet music to follow. We wandered around the cactus garden which was pretty impressive and had plenty of good photo opportunities. The flowers were not in bloom so we were not able to see the rose garden or smell the chocolate flowers. There were plenty of benches so you can stop and rest as frequently as you would like. Some areas are shaded so you can take a break from the sun on a hot day. I don't remember seeing any cafes or food places inside. There was a museum that was not open on the day we went. It's a nice place for a nice walk. I will definitely be back!

    The Fullerton Arboretum is a botanical garden gem for us people in Orange County. The grounds are beautifully curated, wonderful selection of local flora and also plants and trees from other locations. The cost is FREE but they do have a DONATION box for those wanting to support the conservation of this beautiful botanical garden (on selected days people can also buy plants, tress and fruits from the for sale section) please reach out to them directly to find schedule of "for sale" dates and times. There is some fauna: birds, butterflies, rabbits, turtles, ducks, lots of cute lizards and if your LUCKY you may see an or a (jk on those ) LOL in all seriousness, if you haven't visited the Fullerton Arboretum please go check it out! I think you will enjoy it

    While searching for a venue for my mother's memorial, I came across the Fullerton Arboretum. I had originally been considering the Bacon Pavilion, but to my surprise, the entire venue was absolutely beautiful. The Arboretum has such a peaceful and natural feel. The trees, flowers, and outdoor scenery create a calm, beautiful setting that feels tucked away from the busyness of the city. It truly feels like a hidden gem in the center of Fullerton. Even though it is located on the Cal State Fullerton campus, it is still easily accessible from the freeway, which makes it convenient for guests. Unfortunately, the venue did not work for our memorial because several people attending would have had physical limitations, and the amount of walking could have been challenging for them. However, for other types of events such as a baby shower, wedding, celebration, or intimate gathering, this venue would be absolutely beautiful. Even if you are not planning an event, I would still recommend visiting the Arboretum just to explore, relax, meditate, or enjoy a peaceful escape. It is a beautiful place with a warm, natural atmosphere, and I am glad I discovered it.

    Unfortunately, I was not able to have the Forever & Always Wedding that I dreamed of. Although…read moreHeather communicated very well, there were a couple of incidents that I found slightly unprofessional: 1. I signed a contract with one of her staff as my wedding planner. Unfortunately, from my understanding, there were unexpected changes in the company, so Heather had to take over. However, Heather responded that she would make an exception for me and not charge me an additional $1000 for this change. With all due respect, I should not be financially penalized for changes that an owner experiences; especially since I already signed the contract that I financially agreed to. 2. I encountered a lot of life changes that disrupted my ability to move forward with a wedding that my brothers were supposed to be in. For instance, I had a depressed, suicidal brother, I had another brother leave for Japan for the Marines, and I had an uncle pass away. All vendors except for Heather were so kind to fully refund my deposits due to the situation. Unfortunately, Heather responded that she was still a businesswoman and was financially hurting, so she was in no place to offer a full refund. I basically paid Heather almost $500 to establish a simple contract. I already had all the vendors in place and organized, so this deposit was for nothing. Heather should not be held responsible for unexpected circumstances, but this wedding meant a lot to me. As a business owner, you should be able to compromise with your clients based on their situation. I could have easily used that deposit to help my family for the funeral. I find this situation absurd because I never wanted a wedding planner to begin with. Our wedding list was only 32 guests, but my fiancé insisted that we hire a planner because he did not want me to stress out. I admire him for caring, but this wedding was going to be a private and intimate event with very little management. I blame myself for hiring a wedding planner when I did not need one. It is unfortunate that Heather was thinking like a businesswoman and not a human being with empathy. Nonetheless, please make sure to ask about the refund policy for emergencies such as death, health, etc. Two stars are for her communication, but I can only evaluate Heather based on my experience with her before the wedding date. Therefore, I am unable to provide feedback for her day service since my wedding never happened. Has it ever occurred to you, Heather, that you had not heard from me in a year because I was busy dealing with other important things like planning a funeral? My wedding was the last thing on my mind. Also, I was not complaining about the charge that never happened, I am complaining about your response to your changes. There was no need to comment on that you are more expensive and won't be charging me. We could have proceeded forward with whatever it was we were doing. You contacted ONE venue and that is because they had YOU sign a contract with them. FYI, my pre-engagement photos were scheduled with the photographer I hired for my wedding and I was still refunded the full amount. This vendor did not work for free either and still managed to prioritize customer service over money. You are a business owner and have the liberty to do as you please, but you must have needed the money more than I did, so I hope my contributions helped your business. Nonetheless, well done on your communication. If you have a family member with a life-threatening illness or you have a medical condition that may require potential hospitalization, please do not hire Heather as your wedding planner as she will not refund you the deposit because not make exceptions for your situation simply because she does not "work for free." Thank you.

I found Heather through Yelp and let me say: she really understood my vision and kept it real with me on what i could and couldn't afford lol. Not to mention, I literally and honestly don't know how I could have enjoyed my wedding without Heather. Her and her assistant, Courtney, handled E V E R Y T H I N G on the day of our wedding at the Estate on Second and then some. If there was any sort of problem, she had the solution. If we needed a drink, she was there with mine and my husband's signature cocktails. If I was losing track of time, she made sure to gently push me along. She truly handled everything so that me and my husband could just have FUN and for that I am truly grateful.

My wedding was in San Diego on a Saturday, and Tricia delivered the flowers on Friday morning to a family member in the OC. Not only did the flowers last until the next day, I got exactly what I wanted from Tricia but at a fraction of the price from other florists. Make sure the flowers stay in water and in a cool place. We were lucky that the hotel I was staying in allowed us to use their large kitchen fridge. Just make sure there aren't any fruits in the fridge; they emit a gas, which will wilt the flowers. This is a photo of what I sent Tricia: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zsAIIQObiKI/VBj7Lp0EAHI/AAAAAAAAFHQ/aNnzx7iuj4o/s1600/peach-peonies-garden-roses-wedding-flowers-mintgreen-peach-wedding-colors-spring.jpg She gave me a quote and informed me that the bouquets in the photo had peonies in them (which would be out of season during my January wedding). I know nothing about flowers, so I really appreciated her honesty and I decided to replace the peonies with hydrangeas and I got a really good deal! Tricia understands what it is to be a budget bride and her prices cannot be beat. I would definitely recommend Tricia's floral designs or any event design for your weddings or special occasions.

    I was looking for a place to hold a show, when a friend had told me about the colony house. I had…read morelooked at the overheads on Google maps, and was blown away by the size. Apparently, it used to be a club, but has now changed into a very high-end and cool venue for weddings or whatever type of event you want to have. One of the first thing you notice when you turn in is the amount of ample parking. There are two secured Gates that open up to a huge parking lot, definitely not cramped for sure. And it has plenty of handicap spaces which is very nice. Walking into the open air pavilion, is a real treat. What a great space! This would be a great place for outside dining, or having a band play out there and dancing, if you didn't want to be cooped up inside. Definitely tons of possibilities at this venue! Inside, there is a bar on one end and a stage on the other with a huge open area. This would be perfect for a wedding or something that's held inside, if you did not want to brave the elements outside. Company on site, and can pretty much do anything you need. And that's not all, there is an upstairs area that is perfect for an overflow room, or a VIP lounge, or just a place for say a wedding party to take a break, or anything you really want to do with it. It even has a nice little outside courtyard that you can sit and get some fresh air. I could almost write a book about how awesome this place is but suffice to say if you live in Orange county and are looking for a premier venue to have your event at, I don't think you could do any better than the colony House. Give them a call today and see what's up!

From the moment we saw it, we knew it was something special--the space is absolutely beautiful and created the perfect backdrop for every part of our day. Shane helped us in the beginning and was so kind, making the early planning process feel exciting and stress free. But an even bigger thank you goes to Cameron. She is incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely cares about what she does. You can tell she loves her job, and it shows in how she supports her couples. She went above and beyond for us every step of the way, making sure everything came together perfectly and that we felt confident and taken care of throughout the entire process. We feel so lucky to have worked with Shane, Cameron and the 24 Carrots team. This venue gave us the chance to create our dream wedding, and we will always be grateful for such an amazing experience.

She was so attentive to us, and did so much at the forefront and behind the scenes of the wedding day and months leading up. The wedding went perfectly, and we cannot imagine what we would have done without her.

    Looking back at my wedding that happened a month ago, I do not know where to begin to describe how…read morewonderful Sprig & Ivy was in coordinating my wedding. Shraddha and Karan are the sweetest wife & husband team that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. I booked Sprig and Ivy early into my wedding planning, and even though it was a long time away from our initial contact to the wedding day, Shraddha was so nice and sweet in checking up every so often to make sure I was doing ok. When it came down to the wire, WOW- They exceeded everything that you can ask for in having wedding coordinators for your wedding. They were on top of everything and anything! There were so many moments where I needed a breather, so they "snuck" me out to check out everything and get some air (because everyone was pulling me in different directions!). At one point, I really wanted to see my dessert bar, but couldn't get to it, so Karan took me through a "detour" for me to check it out on the other side before all the chaos ensued. They made sure everything was perfect from beginning to end, and I am SO happy for their amazing work ethics, wonderful personalities, and overall, just great people to have and surround yourself with. Thank you for everything!
