Beautiful gardens to stroll, trails to walk, and art to enjoy!
Met a friend to spend some time together catching up. It was only my second visit, and many years since my first visit. Under the aegis of the University of Michigan, admission is free, so it begs for more frequent visits to enjoy the conservatory and the gardens at various times of the year. The Conservatory comprises a Tropical House, a Temperate House, and a Desert House. We saw some very unusual cacti and other plants, including "living stone" plants!! We strolled outdoors through the Perennial Garden, the Children's Garden, and more, including some wooded trails. Thoroughly enjoyed the art installed throughout the gardens. If you like nature art, check out the exhibit inside the Visitor Center and the mosaic art outside the west entrance. Hope to return soon!

The Great Outdoors
Due to COVID the buildings are closed on Friday (the day we went), which limits what guests can see to the trails. That said, we enjoyed walking the trails for an hour and taking in nature. I would defiantly go back.
