Matthaei Botanical Gardens hosts free guided nature walks on select Wednesdays and Sundays.

Fall Fragrances – 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.

Walks are designed for all ages. If there is a large mixed-age group they may split into two sets to offer different levels of engagement. Adults must stay with their children.

No registration required. They recommend gathering 10 min early in the lobby of the Gardens.
