Beal Botanical Garden & Campus Arboretum

Project Description

Want to help create pollinator habitat on campus? Join us as we transform a turf lawn into a productive landscape for insects! We will be planting on the west side of Psychology with Michigan native plants. This will entail some minor weeding, planting, and watering in of all the plants. Let’s make a difference!
