Below is the information from Bob Panick about our May field trip to the Matthei Botanical Gardens. It is May 31st with a alternate rain date of June 1. I will ask Bob if he has scoped out a place for us to have lunch and we will discuss all of it at our first meeting in May.

The date/time info is:
• Meet up – Sears parking lot in Lincoln Park
• Time – 7:00 AM. Yes this is early, but this will put us at ...
the gardens about 8:00 before the distractions and the wind pick up.
• Date – May 31th
• Alternate Date – June 1st.
• We will use the alternate date if weather is bad. Notifications
will be through Facebook.
Address: 1800 N. Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor, MI 48105
They have started a parking fee with kiosks at $1.40/hour, with a maximum of $5.
If you haven’t been here before the main attractions are a beautiful outdoor garden, walking trails through several kinds of wooded areas, and a greenhouse (Conservatory). The two main areas of interest to us are going to likely be macro and landscape.
The gardens are open sunrise until sunset. Tripods are allowed, but like anywhere else be considerate of blocking walking areas.
The conservatory is open 8:30 – 4:30, they used to ask for a $5 donation, but that may have been removed with the new parking fee. Tripods aren’t allowed in the conservatory during peak hours on Saturday or Sunday.
