Beautiful and peaceful setting on the MSU campus. Plan to return in a few weeks to see what else has bloomed!! Great selection of perennials and edible plants.

A wonderful place to visit on the MSU campus all year round. Aways something new to see.

Always my go-to place to relax, enjoy nature and MSU. On the banks of the Red Cedar.

Quite place. Nice atmosphere. If your a plant and flower hobbyist youll like this place.

Beautiful setting, great plant selection for educational learning and great docents.

A beautiful place to walk through-family and kid friendly.

Wonderful botanical garden at MSU - well organized, wide variety of plants

Loved it just too bad it was left unattended for 2 months but still looked great

The best place to come and think and enjoy the beautiful garden. I visit often.

A peaceful place to learn to identify plants.

The best botanical garden I have ever visited. Not only are the plants beautiful and well kept but also they provide you info on each one. Even if you are not looking for an educational opportunity when you come here you will still learn some cool facts. Truly a place for anyone and everyone whether youre into learning more about plants or simply enjoy looking at beautiful plants. Plus, its located on the campus of Michigan State, so there is plenty else around to do and see before and after.

Beautiful spot on campus to walk, read, study, meditate or just relax.

Astounding beauty and very peaceful

Excellent educational garden for lots of plants and flowers. Just the right place to stroll around after dinner, not too big, not too small. I also see lots of people bring their dogs to enjoy themselves. Dogs love it.

A beautiful spot to take senior pictures! Follow my Facebook page Sylvia Jarrus Photography to see more photos and book a session with me!

Beautiful garden will make you feel good

One of the most beautiful and relaxing places on campus!

This is one of the Oldest Botanical gardens in the United States. A living classroom of nature, many different species of plant life.

This is always a must visit after visiting the history museum across the street. Well groomed lawn and spacious walkways between the botanicals. Each plant is clearly marked. The beds are well maintained and never disappoint. Nice place to have a picnic and easy stroll. So many ideas for garden planning.

Its small and in campus botanical garden. We went during winter and there was nothing.

Beautiful, well kept gardens. Very picturesque. Nice walking trails and paved track

Very peaceful place.Know your allergy before you vist.I got rashes.It took a week to go.Place is beside the msu library.Restroom inside library.If you like botany it is a treasure. We found a few rare plants here!

If youre interested in plants you can grow in Michigan, what their uses and their histories, this is a great place to visit. Beautiful grounds, lots of information and friendly and interactive volunteers.

A nice hidden nook next to the MSU main library, while not wheel chair accessible one could circle around it and enjoy the nature form the main path

If you find plants interesting you will love this place. Very well kept.

Beautiful, small and very peaceful place to get grounded.....especially on a warm summer evening with your shoes off!! Be sure to smell and touch the essential oils plants.....the aroma of Mother Earth!!

My family and I just got done taking our pre wedding and family photos there and it was perfectly beautiful. The color and smells of all the flowers were beautiful

Love to walk around and see all the plants. Msu is beautiful in all seasons.

The variety of species and genus here are impeccable. I try to visit when I have free time. They care for the gardens extremely well. Cozy spot to go sit and read a book near the small water plant pond.

Beautiful garden with helpful and friendly staff. My family and I (even the ones who were skeptical at first) had a great time!

I visited out of season, but there was a wide variety of plants and plenty of room to walk around. Great place to bring the family.

Love this garden and the frre summer concerts. very grateful for this in our community.

One of the Most Beautiful and Best Botanical Gardens Anywhere.

If you love plants youll live this place.

The free botanical garden in MSU, every spring and summer, all kinds of flowers are open, beautiful, it takes about 20 minutes to walk, it is worth a visit.

It is an amazing place to be especially ow when the flower are blooming. It is super beautiful.

The most pleasing aspects of my only visit to Beal Garden were the phenomenal organization and surprising diversity in this 2 acre formal demonstration garden. Impressive from end to end and top to bottom, well worth your time to preambulate slowly through. Dont miss the well labeled poisonous plants plot. A Five Star garden if there ever was one.

Beautiful landscape. Great place for pictures

Waiting for the flowers to bloom out there but still worth a quick walk thru to enjoy the scenery.

Beal botanical garden is a relaxing stop in the hustle and bustle of a college campus. They have numerous plants on display with information on the genera and specie. It sits right on the red cedar river just west of the library. Its a great place to take a date or just go by yourself for some meditation.The fencing and the main gates were made by Stefani and Co. utilizing seamless metal tubing to create a bamboo style structure. Built by my wifes uncle, Carrey Stefani.

LOVE this place! A great memory from my childhood, as well as a fascinating place to go to learn about indigenous plants and foreign intruders with a wealth of information about growth, dangers and uses... like a peaceful witchs garden with labels!

Great place for a walk after dinner at El Azteco.

Good selection of plants and good identification of them.

Incredible gardens - plants, trees and very knowable volunteers - a must see!

Youre best off coming here during late spring, summer, or early autumn. Otherwise there isnt much to do, but walk and read the hundreds of plant signs. You could easily lose an hour here not trying. The parking is the difficult part of this venue.

I drive by here every day for work, never stopped but it looks nice going 25 mph.

The buds were starting to bloom, and the volunteers were very happy to help!

Beautiful garden on MSU campus!

Nice place to relax

Great walk and beautiful flowers with lots of info on the flowers

Interesting place to visit.

Also known as a living encyclopedia of plants, this is an amazing collection of plants of all types, shapes, and sizes with informational plaques for each. I highly recommend checking this place out if youre in the area and want to stop and smell the roses, both metaphorically and literally.

Wonderful garden on the MSU campus.

Very relaxing and pretty. I love the little pavilion. Seems great for reading a poem.

Great place full of flowers and plants from all over the world. Be careful going here in early spring though. It is so close to the river that it floods quite often.

Very pretty. Great in the spring, but still good at other times of the year.
