Nichols Arboretum is a 123-acre living museum nestled in the hills adjacent to U-M's Central Campus. The 1906 historic design by O.C. Simonds celebrates the dramatic topography. Long views are framed by the Arb's collection of Michigan native plants and plants from around the world.
Visitors can enjoy hundreds of species of plants native to Michigan, as well as collections of horticultural varieties of plants and plants native to other parts of North America. Nichols is particularly known for its historic Peony Collection, Heathdale Collection (species primarily from the Applachian area), and the Dow Prairie.
