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!
