The Display Gardens on Suncrest, in Lapeer, Michigan, are located on the grounds of the Lapeer County Medical Care Facility. There's also a children's daycare on the site. Covering about an acre, the gardens are a peaceful place to visit. There are sixteen garden beds, including an annual garden, birdhouse garden, butterfly garden, children's garden, and herb garden. Visitors can stroll along the pathways, stopping at benches to admire waterfalls, fountains, bird baths, statues, and even a Japanese gazebo. There are plenty of birds, butterflies, frogs and toads for nature lovers.
The gardens are open from dawn to dusk. Admission is free.
That's nice for the people who are staying there.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is!
DeleteI would love to have a herb garden. I purchased a basil plant and the thing died on me last week. I can't grow anything.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. What kind of soil was it in?
DeleteI live in Michigan now, but from 5th grade through high school I lived in Hudson OH.
ReplyDeleteThat's close to where some of my family lives.
