COMMUNITY REVIEWS

A Visit to Matthaei Botanical Gardens submitted by SBNB on June 22, 2023, 10:22am This one was better than the Farmer's Market one, but it's still not high quality. One positive, though, is that it pointed out things I hadn't previously seen inside the Botanical Gardens. I also liked the blooms calendar at the end. The photos at the end didn't add much this time.

Informative submitted by sidhartairene on August 20, 2023, 11:21pm This book has nice illustrations, and gives simple description what children can see and do in the Matthaei Garden.
I expected more information or activity mentioned in this book. But, if your kid is toddler, I think this book is enough.
Hei, this book also has information what to see in each season!

Cute book submitted by volunteerchow on July 8, 2024, 5:36pm a nicely illustrated guide to the highlights of Matthai Botanical Gardens both inside the building and outside on the property

A nice book about Matthaei submitted by tmkenn on July 12, 2024, 8:29am This book has really nice illustrations, it won’t keep older kids occupied for long, but they do like to see books about places they’ve been in the town where we live.
