Finn Smith: “Planting Wishes” at Beal Botanical Garden

With his interactive exhibit “Planting Wishes,” Fisheries and Wildlife major Finn Smith encourages moments of mindfulness and sows seeds of curiosity about local natural wonders. This supports Finn’s mission as a Beal Scholar to create unique artistic and educational experiences for all garden visitors. Arts research and presentation at MSU creates connection, between Spartans, and to vibrant spaces on campus.

At Michigan State University, we know that creative inquiry and expression are integral to advancing knowledge, the cornerstone of our mission. Spartans illustrate every day the varied ways that the arts are an essential part of the MSU experience.
