Mid-Michigan Spartans - Morning in Beal Garden

Located between IM Circle and MSU's Main Library, Beal Botanical Garden is one of the oldest established areas of campus.

Spend the morning assisting with Spring gardening under the direction of Beal staff. The gardening time is estimated to last two hours and will be followed by a guided tour of the garden by Alan Prather, Director of Beal Botanical Garden and Campus Arboretum.

All supplies, including gloves, will be provided. Water and snacks will be provided, as well.

This event is expected to fill quickly. If you miss out on registering for this event, please add your name to the waitlist. We are planning to offer a similar experience in the future for those who are on the waitlist.

Parking: There aren't any lots beside the garden. The closest pay-by-plate lot is the lot at IM West, which is next to the stadium. From there, it's a short walk across the bridge to get to IM Circle. There are pay-by-plate meters along West Circle on the North side of Adam's Field, which is the plot of grass adjacent to the Music Building and Cowles House. The meters are across the street from Yakely Gilchrist. There are a few accessible spaces in front of IM Circle and in front of the Music Building. It's difficult to predict availability on a Friday morning, however. If you choose to park in an East Lansing lot or garage and walk to IM Circle, the garage on Albert across from Harper's is the closest option.

As with all Mid-Michigan Spartans events, an additional ticket option is available for those who wish to make a donation to support the operations of our club. The donation ticket is NOT a ticket to the event. If you wish to do both, make sure to select a general admission ticket and a donation ticket. We appreciate the generosity of those whose past contributions have allowed us to keep our programming inclusive and accessible.
