A presentation by Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum Curator Dr. David C. Michener
Ann Arbor’s favorite garden will soon be in bloom! Come and find out how we’re enriching this historic collection and adding long-desired specimens, including Chinese and Japanese tree peonies. At tonight’s presentation Matthaei-Nichols Curator Dr. David C. Michener will offer a best-guess of when the peonies will burst into bloom and which plants may bloom for the first time this year. Get a behind-the-scenes view of changes and enhancements to this national treasure as we prepare for the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden’s centennial in 2022. Bring your questions, too, for the after-session discussion.
Share your peony garden stories and photos! Submit your stories and photos online at the Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden website. Or bring a few to tonight’s presentation for possible future inclusion on our website about public enjoyment of Ann Arbor’s favorite garden.
