Presented By: Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum
Free Guided Peony Garden Tours
What's in a Name
All invited for a series of twice-daily, free staff-led tours of the U-M Nichols Arboretum Peony Garden, May 15-20 during the 2012 peony bloom season. All tours take place in the Arboretum, 1610 Washington Hts., at 12:15 & 7 pm. Due to unseasonably warm weather last winter and this spring we've moved the bloom time up. Today’s tours: 12:15 pm: What’s in a Name? - Peony names of the past–the who, what, when, and why; 7:00 pm: Best in Show - Top-ranked peonies and why they were considered champions in their time.
