Looking out over the tree lined horizon of Ann Arbor we started to think back to the days of grade school and the science behind the changing of the seasons. To get a refresher, we took a morning stroll with the Matthaei Botanical Garden Horticultural Manager Mike Palmer, who talked about the color change, why your pine tree isn't really dying and more.
