Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum at the Univeristy of Michigan

Your contribution will help us continue to restore declining ecosystems, create public access and interpretation of natural areas, and offer exciting arts and educational opportunities. We can't do it without you.

Gifts to the Arb and Gardens help provide for places of hope that encourage environmental action while offering restorative landscapes.
