Founded in 1890, the UC Botanical Garden provides photosynthetic space, CO2, and public adoration to more than 13,000 types of plants on 34 acres of property in UC Berkeley's Strawberry Canyon. The garden features plants from all over the world that are carefully separated by place of origin. Greenhouses ensure plant-viewing opportunities during inclement weather or falling skies, and they keep plants that are climatically unsuited to the Bay Area happy year-round. Free tours of the garden are offered every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 p.m.

Benefits of membership are legion, including unlimited free admission, access to members-only events, discounts on garden classes, a 10% discount at the botanical garden's stores, and reciprocal privileges at nearly 200 gardens, conservatories, and arboretums across the nation.

UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley

UC Botanical Garden at Berkeley’s first plants sprouted in a modestly sized garden on campus in the 1870s, and in the 1890s, the plot became an official garden dedicated to hosting a living collection of native plants. Since then, the nonprofit garden has expanded to 34 acres in Strawberry Canyon and planted more than 13,000 different types of plants from around the world, including endangered cacti, redwoods, and a significant collection of native Californian plants. Given the garden’s vastness, its informative tours and programs offer a handy alternative to exploring alone, which always carries the risk of stumbling into the carnivorous, fire-breathing species of poison ivy.

The Groupon Guide to: Bananas

Though one of the most popular and versatile of the handheld fruits, bananas are largely misunderstood by science. Here, however, are the very few banana facts that are considered indisputable:

  • Bananas are encased in a rind or peel that, when left splayed out on the floor like an octopus, creates a deadly but hilarious trap for any passing pedestrians, as well as stuffy vice principals carrying the sheet cake they were forced to purchase for their own retirement party.

  • Bananas can be sliced into other healthy foods to make them even healthier, such as a bowl of cereal, a bowl of fruit, or a novelty miniature sunhat full of Vanillesque® Flash-Frozen Organical Soygurt.

  • Bananas are shaped like the moon! Not all the time, of course, but for the portions of the lunar cycle when the moon is shaped like a banana.

  • Bananas are legal in your state, contrary to the relentless television advertisements that say otherwise.

When were bananas legalized?
