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.
