The Matthaei Botanical Gardens, is a 300-acre site that includes a variety of outdoor display gardens, a 10,000+ square-foot conservatory, and miles of nature trails. While the outdoor gardens provide a peaceful respite and breathtaking displays during the summer, the indoor Conservatory provides a welcome spot of green throughout the year, displaying plants from tropical rainforests, Mediterranean-type climates, and deserts.
Nichols Arboretum is a 123-acre living museum nestled in the hills adjacent to U-M's Central Campus. The 1906 historic design by O.C. Simonds celebrates the dramatic topography. Long views are framed by the Arb's collection of Michigan native plants and plants from around the world.
