New entrance leads to Matthaei

The recent road construction on Dixboro Road has paved the way for a new entrance to the University's Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

Barbed wire has already been removed. Upcoming projects on the drainage ditches will create a clear line of sight into the gardens.

The next stage will establish ornamental plant material, possibly including 30,000 plants someday. The final stage involves signs and fencing.

The gardens are located on Dixboro Road between Plymouth and Geddes Roads.
