How to Subscribe to the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden E-Newsletter

The UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden offers an e-newsletter called the Leaflet, and you can sign up for it through a dedicated subscription page on the website. Subscribing is the way to get garden news, events, and updates delivered to your inbox rather than checking the site for changes. You'll need a working email address, and the signup is voluntary — you can unsubscribe at any time.

Where the Subscription Lives

The site lists a subscription link under the label "Subscribe to our e-newsletter." That link points to the e-newsletter page at arboretum.ucdavis.edu/subscribe-our-e-newsletter-leaflet, which is where the signup form is handled.

If you land on the homepage first, look for the newsletter or "Leaflet" reference rather than a general contact form — the subscription is a separate action from contacting the garden.

Steps to Subscribe

1. Go to the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden website.
2. Find and open the "Subscribe to our e-newsletter" link, or navigate directly to the Leaflet subscription page.
3. Enter the email address you want the newsletter sent to. Subscription forms of this kind typically ask for an email address and sometimes a name.
4. Submit the form.
5. Check your inbox for a confirmation message. If one arrives, follow any confirmation step it includes — this is common for newsletter signups and confirms the address is yours.
6. If nothing arrives within a reasonable time, check your spam or promotions folder before trying again.

What to Expect and Common Snags

• Confirmation email: Many newsletter systems send a verification message before adding you to the list. If you don't confirm, you may not receive the Leaflet.
• Email accuracy: A typo in the address is the most common reason a signup appears to fail. Re-enter it carefully.
• Unsubscribing: Because this is a voluntary subscription, each issue should include a way to opt out. You are not locked in by signing up.
• Pricing: The site's pricing signals reference a subscription link, but no cost is stated for the e-newsletter itself. Treat the newsletter as a signup rather than a paid product unless the page says otherwise.

Quick Reference

If your goal is simply to keep up with garden events and announcements, subscribing to the Leaflet is the direct route; if you only need one-time information, browsing the site without subscribing works just as well.
