- Notes
- In 1957, 200 acres of land were donated to the University of Michigan by Frederick C. Matthaei, Sr. and Mildred Hague Matthaei. This property along with Matteson Farm formed the Botanical Gardens. Alden B. Dow Associates designed the Botanical Gardens complex, which was built between 1959-1965. The property was officially named the Matthaei Botanical Gardens in 1969. Additions were made to the original property holding in 1965, 1970, and 1987.
