Absolutely stunning native gardens. We thoroughly enjoyed the labyrinth and pollinator gardens. Perfect gift shop with restrooms.
Community gardens are indeed wonderful spaces for gardeners. They provide opportunities for learning, sharing knowledge about organic gardening practices, and connecting with like-minded individuals who share a passion for gardening. It's a perfect environment to cultivate both plants and friendships.
What an amazing find, we went to see the old mental hospital and how it is being repurposed and found this gem next door. What beautiful gardens and so much fun history.
We went for the Botanic Gardens Garden Party, and it was my favorite part of our trip. The lectures were both AWESOME, we loved the fairy houses, the giant cow was crazy, the roses were GORGEOUS, the cherry lemonade was lovely, the soothing walk-maze was fun, the gardens were all beautiful, and the staff/volunteers cared so much about us and their garden. We love!!! Would go all the time if we lived in the area. They are doing good things for the world over there. 🥰
This was one of our most favorite things we did while in Traverse City. Make sure that you take the free tour of the botanic gardens, and then you can walk around and explore the trails and fairy gardens and more. It's perfect for a picnic lunch, and you have to visit the gardens by the stables. There are still big things planned with this area and it will develop more and more over the years!
Cute little garden. The kids loved the fairy area and the giant eagle nest. They have a cute little gift shop too! We are from out of town so this was our first visit. One suggestion I have for them is to maybe make their map a little more user friendly. We had no idea where we were allowed to walk or where anything really was because the map was pretty simple and plain. Could be user error, but I feel like an updated map would help others too.
Enjoyed the Gardens. My wife and I as well as our 2 year old and her grandparents all were very impressed at this beautiful spot. A nice mix of nature walks and various paths allowed all to enjoy.
