"Come into the Arb and enjoy a time of sweet serenity," this open gate is saying to me. March 15, 2012 Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor, Michigan
Entrance to the Arb is typically through this postern gate. The Arb is within easy walking distance of the University of Michigan main campus, the University of Michigan Hospital campus, and surrounding residential areas that house students, faculty, and staff. It's a popular place for joggers, hikers, strollers, bird watchers, and nature lovers in general. If you read the fine print on the posted set of rules, you'll see that the hours for the Arb are 6 am to 10 pm, so after dark activities are allowed...Draw your own conclusions. On this ultra-warm (for March) day, it was especially popular. March 15, 2012 Nichols Arboretum, Ann Arbor, Michigan
