USAIN/CBHL 2024 Biennial Meeting

Established in 1873, the W. J. Beal Botanical Garden is the oldest, continuously operated university botanical garden in the United States and is located in the heart of MSU’s campus, right next to the MSU Main Library. Maeve Bassett, Education Director, will lead us on a tour and discuss how this unique living laboratory encourages exploration of the natural world and illuminates the interconnectedness between people, plants, and place. There is no cost for this tour, and it is open to all USAIN/CBHL attendees. Participants should plan to meet our guide, Jodie Coalter, by the Main Library's Red Cedar Entrance, near the Circulation Desk, before walking over to the garden.
