Bonsai Collections

 

Hidden Lake Gardens (MSU)

 A gem of quiet and astonishing beauty, this wonderful variety of miniature trees in pots invite the visitor to see the intimate interaction of the natural world with the human hand and artistic imagination.  The bonsai collection of Hidden Lake Gardens began in 1968 with the hiring of Jack Wikle. The collection has grown over the years thanks to Jack’s personal involvement with the bonsai world and his generous capacity to share his extensive knowledge and enthusiasm with others.  During the season, the Bonsai Courtyard is open Tuesdays through Sundays, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 

Matthaei Botanical Gardens (UofM)

The UM bonsai collection began in 1977 with the gift of 163 bonsai trees from the estate of Dr. Maurice Seevers, one of the world’s leading pharmacology and toxicology researchers and UM Department of Pharmacology Chair (1942-1971).
