DONOR SPOTLIGHT<br />

A Gift <strong>of</strong> Art<br />

Marge Alpern sees artistic beauty in her<br />

gardens. As the plants grow and change<br />

through the seasons, new shapes and forms<br />

appear. She seeks sculptures and objects<br />

that complement this naturally evolving<br />

beauty. Her appreciation <strong>of</strong> art and nature<br />

as well as her love <strong>of</strong> Matthaei Botanical<br />

Gardens brought her to the decision to<br />

make a gift for temporary art displays in the<br />

Conservatory.<br />

Thanks to Marge and Bob Alpern’s<br />

generosity, a series <strong>of</strong> photographs by<br />

<strong>Michigan</strong> nature photographer, Steve Nikkila,<br />

is scheduled for display in the Conservatory.<br />

The first set, featuring the monarch butterfly,<br />

will run from September to December 2008.<br />

Others will appear at regular intervals. We<br />

invite you to come see for yourself how this<br />

art enhances the Conservatory.<br />

It is through gifts like these, that we can<br />

make our garden into a destination for<br />

people to visit over and over again.<br />
