Welcome the new Botanical Gardens
A groundbreaking ceremony is planned at 10:30 a.m. Sept. 9 for the new CMU Botanical Gardens.
The event, organized by the College of Science and Technology, will be held on the lawn area west of Park Library and is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
In addition to beautifying campus, the Botanical Gardens are being designed to foster community participation and establish an outdoor educational laboratory for researchers and students of all ages. For more information contact Lori Kreiner at 1916 or krein1ll@cmich.edu.
