Botanical Gardens, Ann Arbor: Photos
» the university of michigan botanical gardens
I cannot recall the last time I had been to the botanical gardens. I would soon realize that this was a horrible mistake, there are lots of very interesting plants to be seen here. The most exotic plants are kept inside the greenhouse, then outside there are many gardens and nature trails.
