The Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden is a botanical garden located on the southeastern corner of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) campus, California, United States. It is named after Dr. Mildred Esther Mathias Hassler (1906–1995), a noted American botanist. The director is Arthur C. Gibson. ==History== UCLA's botanical garden was started as an academic laboratory shortly after the Westwood, Los Angeles campus opened in 1929, on seven acres preserved for that purpose near the arroyo on the east side of the campus. It was funded in part by the California State Relief Administration, created by newly elected Governor Frank Merriam in 1933 to provide jobs through municipal work projects.〔Marina Dundjerski, ''UCLA: The First Century'' (Los Angeles: Third Millennium Publishing, Ltd./UCLA History Project/UCLA Alumni Association, 2011), p. 61.〕 The garden's first manager, George C. Groenewegen, started with horticultural donations from the United States Department of Agriculture and the Huntington Botanical Gardens, among others. By 1947 the garden hosted approximately 1,500 different species and varieties of plants.〔Marina Dundjerski, ''UCLA: The First Century'' (Los Angeles: Third Millennium Publishing, Ltd./UCLA History Project/UCLA Alumni Association, 2011), p. 280.〕 In the 1960s, garden director Mildred E. Mathias, who oversaw the garden from 1956–74, helped to develop it into the "university garden" and opened it for public tours.〔Marina Dundjerski, ''UCLA: The First Century'' (Los Angeles: Third Millennium Publishing, Ltd./UCLA History Project/UCLA Alumni Association, 2011), p. 281.〕 "The nest," a small amphitheater designed and built by the garden's staff and volunteers out of Northern Californian incense cedar and boulders shipped from Duarte, California, was opened in 1996.〔Jennifer Louie, "'Nest brings new life to garden," The Daily Bruin (May 24, 1996)http://dailybruin.com/1996/05/23/nest-breathes-new-life-into-ga/〕
