The Frank Lloyd Wright Palmer House nestles against the northeast side of the 123-acre Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum. With 10 acres of restored prairies, more than 500 wood plant species and more than a mile of frontage on the Huron River, the setting reflects Wright's natural philosophies. The trails and free gardens at both are open to the public seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset.
