Aromatic spices like cloves, cinnamon, and ginger have been used for thousands of years in teas, cooking, and to scent the home. Each one has a specific profile that makes it unmistakable. Discover the history and uses of aromatic spices, and create a scented sachet to bring the warm, relaxing scents of spices into your home.

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.
