Matthaei Botanical Gardens
and Nichols Arboretum
Annual Report
July 1, 2006 . June 30, 2007

“The proposed pledged funds would be used and expended
in the construction and development of the Botanical Gardens
as a beautiful and outstanding facility of its kind,
with every effort made toward scientific experimentation and
the introduction of a wide range of species of plants, trees, and shrubs,
to the end that this facility would compare with or
surpass in excellence the finest of such facilities wherever now existing.”
Frederick C. Mattaei, Sr., gift proposal to Regents, September 1957

100 Years of Stewardship
“… one can foresee that in twenty-five years the farmer’s woodlots will be put under
cultivation for timber, the bogs will be drained, and no land will be left where
vegetation can be studied in natural conditions,” stated Dr. Frederick Newcombe
in remarks to the Regents urging acceptance of a 27.5 acre gift from Walter and Esther
Nichols a century ago. That gift was combined with city owned land and other land gifts to
create the University Botanical Garden and Arboretum. Today, well over 700 biologically
diverse acres are managed as Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. In our
centennial year, it’s worth reflecting on some key gifts that helped to shape the places we
now enjoy.
Other gifts combined with University support helped to make Nichols Arboretum a
cherished community resource. In 1922, Dr. W. E. Upjohn donated a major collection
of peonies (see article by Richard K. Meader). Later, Detroit Edison donated 36 acres –
Dow Field — one of the largest native prairie remnants in Washtenaw County. In 1997,
the University and community rallied together to move the 1837 Burnham House
and smokehouse to the Arb to serve as the James D. Reader, Jr. Urban Environmental
Education Center. Critical support came from Helene and James Reader, Sr., Forest Hill
Cemetery, the Wilkinson Foundation, the Detroit Edison Foundation, the Benard L. Maas
Foundation, the University and others. Cultural programs at the Arb got a real boost in
2001 when a major gift from the Ford Motor Company Fund helped establish our annual
Shakespeare in the Arb productions in partnership with the Residential College.
The Botanical Garden had split from the Arboretum in 1916 moving to Iroquois Street,
but that site was plagued by poor drainage, the encroachment of the city, and lack of
biodiversity. In 1957, Frederick C. and Mildred Hague Matthaei donated 200 acres and
cash for the purchase an additional 100 acres of the adjoining Matteson Farm. This new
site contained a rich diversity of ecosystems along Fleming Creek. Additional gifts, the
sale of the Iroquois property, University funds and grants from the National Science
Foundation covered the $1,600,000 construction cost of the new facilities.
Donors have played a major role in shaping plant collections. Two of the most notable
were the gift of cacti and succulents from Professor Elzada Clover and the gift of an
extensive bonsai collection from Professor Maurice H. Seevers. In 1999, a generous grant
from Ford Motor Company Fund allowed development of five Gardenscapes for a New
Millennium. Currently, private donations are funding the array of new display gardens and
trails that are transforming outdoor spaces at the Botanical Gardens and Arboretum.
Looking forward, we are building endowment funds to provide stable income. Current
endowments include the Julie Norris Post Heathdale Collection Endowment established by
Helen and Norris Post and family that supports the care of the Heathdale and Laurel Ridge
at Nichols Arboretum, the Geoffrey and Marian Norman Memorial Endowment that
supports care of the outdoor collections at Matthaei Botanical Gardens, and the Natural
Areas Fund that provides on-going stewardship of our natural areas.
As we celebrate our centennial year, I am constantly reminded of how the generosity
of donors, both in time and money, has enabled the development of our gardens,
conserved key natural lands, and continues to provide critical support as we look to
the future. I truly hope you will enjoy this year’s report with its images from our gardens,
current and past, and I also hope you’ll join with us as we look towards our second century!

The Peony Garden: 85 years in the Making
Every June, a swarm descends on the Nichols Arboretum. Attracted by the brilliant
colors and subtle aromas of the peonies, it is undeterred by the thousands of ants seeking
nectar from the flowers. This isn’t a swarm of insects, it’s thousands of human visitors who
throng to the garden: to take pictures, to picnic, to ponder. For many it’s an annual ritual,
for others it’s a first-time visit, but all who come, on purpose or by happenstance, leave
amazed by the sensory splendor.
In 1922, William E. Upjohn (MD, 1875), founder of The Upjohn Company, and peony
aficionado donated hundreds of peonies to the University. Arboretum Director Aubrey Tealdi
hoped to honor this gift by creating a garden specifically for those peonies. He sculpted the land
at the Washington Heights entrance to create a flat area and designed the planting scheme so
that there was a flow of color-coordinated bloom from back to front. The original plan called for
pairs of 281 cultivars and was surrounded by a fence along which shrub and climbing roses were
planted. The Peony Garden opened to the public in 1927, nearly five years after the peonies
were donated by Dr. Upjohn. Ten years later, the garden had reached its full splendor and
included over 325 cultivars. As with any garden, over the years, varieties were lost and often not
replaced or were replaced with modern cultivars not fitting to the original vision.
Recognizing that the garden is in need of revitalization, efforts have begun to restore the
original vision of Director Tealdi: climbing roses now grace a split rail fence that mimics
the 1932 plan; award-winning, pre-World War II cultivars have been sought in order to
give the garden historic significance; and new plants will be added to recreate the wave of
color-coordinated bloom. It will become the largest collection of historic peonies in the
United States, and a place for students of all ages to learn about this treasured plant.
No other place in the Arb attracts such a varied group of visitors as the Peony Garden.
It has been the backdrop for countless wedding, graduation and family photos. It is
2
accessible to visitors of all ages and physical ability and is a favorite spot for hospital
patients able to venture outside and enjoy the healing powers of nature.
The next time you visit the garden, we invite you to think about its history, and take
a moment to thank Dr. Upjohn for how you, your children, and grandchildren will
enjoy this garden in years to come.
Article by Richard K. Meader

“This locally-treasured jewel
is emerging as a national resource.
Few, if any, institutions in North America,
approach our depth in nineteenth and
early twentieth century peony cultivars.”
David Michener, Associate Curator
Dr. William E. Upjohn was a prominent collector
and grower of peonies. Peony roots have long been
used in Chinese and Japanese medicine for pain relief,
seizures, “female complaints,” intestinal troubles and
more. Dr. Upjohn may have first become interested
in the plants from a medical standpoint, but his love
of the plants for their own merits overshadowed any
medicinal interest. He grew over 1000 varieties of
peonies, along with other medicinal plants, at his
Brook Lodge country home near Augusta, Michigan.
His granddaughter Mary Upjohn Meader recalls that
he used to refrigerate the blooms in order to have
indoor bouquets for longer periods of time. He was a
founder of the American Peony Society. He frequently
sent peony bare roots across the country to other
enthusiasts. The original plants in the Arb came from
Dr. Upjohn’s Brook Lodge Garden.

“I wish that all the children of the present day, as well as their fathers and mothers,
could have some place to go where they could sit quietly and enjoy nature,
or where they could romp about and play on the grass, or go in wading or swimming;
a place where they could become acquainted with the shapes of all the leaves
and their habits of growth; with the perfume of the linden and lilac,
with the songs of the thrushes and cat-birds, with the motions of the chipmunk,
and, in short, all the charms of the country.”
Ossian Cole Simonds, Arboretum's Landscape Gardener, 1909

Nurturing a Love of Nature
Walter and Esther Nichols gave their land to the University so that “the University
students of the future and the school children would have a field within fifteen
minutes’ walk of the Campus where practically all the lessons taught by vegetation
growth could be learned.” 1 During our first century, we at MBGNA have not forgotten
that mandate. We provide many diverse programs to help children of all ages learn
about nature through direct experience: school tours, scouting programs, displays in the
Conservatory, signs in the gardens and on the trails, internships, work study opportunities,
and family and community programs.
As we look forward to another century of teaching children who are increasingly afflicted
with “nature deficit disorder,” we are constantly re-evaluating our programs and exploring
ways to improve them. We are developing materials to help families explore and discover

nature and the environment as they visit our woods, prairies, wetlands and gardens. We
are adjusting our school programs so that children at each grade level can enjoy hands-on
learning while meeting the state’s curriculum goals.
We are expanding our internship and work study programs to meet the needs of University
students as they explore careers in the environment, landscape design and education. We
are creating more opportunities for students to volunteer and give back to the community:
through our children’s program, “Go Blue, Discover Green,” created by students on our
environmental education team; participating in our ecological restoration workdays; or
learning about organic gardening and vermi-composting through “Cultivating Community.”
Additionally, we continue to support student research projects as well as the faculty’s use of
our lands as living laboratories for field studies and artistic expressions of many sorts.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Post,
Your generous financial support of the Heathdale Collection at the Nichols
Arboretum has greatly enriched my life!
� �
I have always loved the outdoors of the Southern Lower Peninsula. From my
childhood studies with a local naturalist to my seven years of employment with
private landscaping firms, I have gravitated, time and again, to outdoor employment
and recreation. After graduating (...) this June, with a history degree, I realized
that I was not content to spend my working life at a desk. On pure dumb chance,
I overheard a friend of a friend mentioning an open intern spot in the Nichols
Arboretum. Lucky for me, Tom O’Dell, Natural Areas Collection Specialist,
thought it fit to hire me. And so, here I am, looking fondly back at a summer of
service in Heathdale. I made new friends, learned from wise and thoughtful mentors,
and enjoyed numerous other personal benefits.
I cleared enormous patches (small forests, really) of invasive raspberry, blackberry,
and thimbleberry plants from Heathdale. I mulched the trails and the rhododendrons,
providing protection for the plants’ shallow roots. I laid the forms for
concrete bench pads. I pumped water to sustain thirsty azaleas. In so doing, I not
only added to my knowledge of this ecosystem, but also strengthened my body.
This internship was very different from previous land management jobs that I
have worked. At the private firms, few people really care about the plants, much
less the task at hand; at the private firms, the workers are crude, often cruel, and
truly anti-intellectual – the emphasis is on brute force to make the job appear
done, a.s.a.p. Here at the Arboretum, each and every one of my co-workers (and
bosses) spoke kindly and possessed a clear knowledge of, and respect for, the
plants with which they worked. Here at the Arboretum, lunch conversation was
intellectually rich, and work was done at a safe, deliberate pace. I made friends,
and thanks to you, I earned money, my first pay out of college.
Most importantly, this internship has alerted me to a whole new arena of
employment. As of now, I plan to explore the field further through continued
labor at this or similar collections. Once I am able to isolate the specific areas of
expertise that most interest me, I hope to undergo further schooling, and eventually,
make a career out of working outdoors. Without the financial support of
the Julie Norris Post Endowment, I might still be stranded indoors, aspiring to
become a pompous historian.
Your support has changed my life.
Best Regards,
Max Schultz

We have set a new goal for Internship Endowments.
In the next five years, we will be seeking a total of $1,000,000
to support an Internship Endowment.
This program will help us provide hands-on learning experiences
for University of Michigan undergraduate and graduate students.

Plan for the Future
The Richner family: Roxie, Moragan, Cedric, Sorbie
When most people think of planned giving, they do not think of a family in the
early phases of life. They do not think of a father with young children at home.
They automatically think of retirees. We, at MBGNA, are fortunate enough to
have a family, who when thinking of their own future plans, thought of Matthaei
Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and its future.
“With the pressures of increased development, the din of our city, and the
unique modern phenomenon of ailments such as “nature deficit” in our children,
Nichols Arboretum represents a kind of oasis that allows our family to readily
reconnect with the natural world at a moment’s notice. It is truly an outdoor
learning laboratory that is becoming increasingly scarce. I put Nichols Arboretum
in our estate plan because it is a place that was meaningful to my ancestors,
is relevant for my family today, and it is a place that I want to know will be
educating students, faculty, and families of all kinds for generations to come. The
provision I added to my estate plan calls for the Arb to receive a percentage of my
estate at the time of my death. In this manner, the greater my estate over time
the more impact my gift will have. In the same way that dedicated volunteers
and staff are good stewards of the land at both the Arb and Gardens, as well as
other natural areas around the University, I feel confident that they are also well
qualified to look after financial contributions in their care. By contributing to
the Arb, I believe I am not only investing in a great local amenity, but a great
University as well…”
Planned Giving can happen at any stage of life. The Richners are a wonderful
example of the idea: “it’s never to early to start planning.”

A Ripple Effect
The Gaffield Children's Garden
For many years, friends and visitors have expressed an interest in a children’s garden
at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. In 2006, Tom and Jeanette Gaffield made a gift that
started this dream on its journey to reality. “It is our desire to excite children about
our environment. To provide them with the opportunity to not only appreciate the
beauty of a garden, but also provide a space where they can learn about how it can
be preserved for future generations,” said Jeanette and Tom.
Like ripples in a pond, the Gaffield’s gift has expanded outward through our
community. Tom plays the piano at Silver Maples, a retirement community in
nearby Chelsea. Many of the residents, upon learning about the planned Gaffield
Children’s Garden, made gifts in Tom’s honor. Tom has also been a docent at
MBGNA for many years; when fellow docents heard about the plans, they too
stepped up to the plate and added their donations. The Ann Arbor Branch of the
Woman’s National Farm and Garden Association, where Jeanette has been a longtime
member, also came forward. They pledged $15,000 from their annual Garden
Walk this past June in support of the Gaffield Children’s Garden.
The generosity of the Gaffields is a symbol of how much can change with one gift.
Their gift opened new doors and brought back old friends. We hope you will join
them in building this monumental garden.
