Celery-brate Plants!

Visit the many plant-focused facilities on MSU’s campus and explore the wondrous world of plants. Plants are part of daily life, from waking up in cotton pajamas, to brushing your teeth with mint toothpaste, to eating, drinking, and of course, going outside. Plants are a major industry in Michigan, creating many jobs, and spanning countless career paths from art and design, research, production, breeding, museum science, retail, marketing, and technology. Information stations and hands-on activities will be presented by the Department of Horticulture, Michigan 4-H Children’s Garden, Plant Biology Conservatory, and Student Horticulture Association, among others. Celery-brate plants with us!

The central event hub will be the Plant and Soil Sciences Building (1066 Bogue Street). Activities here will include access to the greenhouses, select classrooms, and outdoor experiences in the beautiful MSU Horticulture Gardens.

Events and exhibits will also take place at:

  • The atrium of the Molecular Plant Science Building (1066 Bogue Street)
  • The MSU Herbarium, located in the Plant Biology Building (612 Wilson Road, Room 166)
  • The MSU Plant Science Teaching Conservatory (544 Wilson Road)

Please note that the Teaching Conservatory does not have dedicated parking. Student volunteers will be available to escort guests between the Plant and Soil Sciences Building and the Conservatory at scheduled times.

We look forward to welcoming you for an engaging and interactive experience across these unique campus spaces!
