[cincopa A4BAWZ6JpeSB] Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, MI.
Although I’m from Michigan, my deep appreciation for the role of public gardens blossomed after I moved to Massachusetts. As I looked to combine garden visits with my regular trips home to family, people kept recommending this garden. I visited with the family in October, 2009. It was late enough in the season that we didn’t have high expectations and we hadn’t even packed the stroller. The fall colors, enhanced by plantings and landscaped effects were impressive and we wore out the grands, and the big folks who took turns carrying them. Now I want to visit in summer.
