Who's ready for a movie?

Screen on the Green is TONIGHT at 8:45pm. Come to the garden to watch Jurassic Park outdoors under the stars. Bring a blanket, a snack, and a few friends and get ready for some fun!

FYI, the garden doesn't have our own restroom and all nearby campus buildings will be closed at that hour. Please plan accordingly.

Tomorrow is the first day of our redo! Take a break from move in and walk through the Garden Gallery from 9am-4pm.

This art installation is a special partnership with the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at MSU as a preview of their new fall exhibition. These replicas will also be on view in the garden this weekend from 1-3pm.

Who knew there were so many different lobelias?

Our garden bed near the pond highlights the research of Dr. Andrea Case (MSU College of Natural Science). Her work on lobelias focuses on the ecological and evolutionary factors affecting the relationships between closely related wildflower species. Basically, can they get along and how does this impact biodiversity?

Research is one of the many ways Beal supports campus. Next time you're in the garden, look closely. There is more to our plants than meets the eye.

With everyone returning to campus, we figured it was a perfect opportunity to have a redo on our Garden Gallery!

The Garden Gallery was the inspiration of one of our Beal Scholars and we still wanted to bring her vision to life. Stop by the garden this week for a self-guided stroll through this special collaboration with Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at MSU.

Friday, August 28, 9am-4pm
Saturday and Sunday, August 29-30, 1-3pm
