Fall Seeds and Fruits October is a time of transition from the end of the growing season to preparations for the cold weather and reduced food sources. Animals and plants have incredible adaptations and use cues from nature to get ready for cold. Join us for a walk to look for seeds, fruits and evidence of fall preparations.

Matthaei Botanical Gardens is hosting free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays.  These walks are FREE, no registration is required. Wonder Walks are designed for all ages to inspire curiosity and learning from each other through activities that model curiosity and honor nature. If we have a sizeable mixed-age group, we may separate into two sets to offer the same content at different levels of engagement.

Wednesday walks begin at 5:30 pm.  Sunday walks begin at 1:00 pm. We recommend gathering inside the lobby of Matthaei Botanical Gardens about 10 minutes before the start.
