The beautiful Dow Gardens is already blooming with color with 25,000 tulips planted throughout the entire garden. It is just gorgeous there!
It was my very first time to the Dow Gardens and I could have spent the entire day there. I can hardly wait to go back and take my daughter Madelyn. She is going to just love running around the garden looking at all the different colors and all the little critters running around.
Craig Mitchell Smith, a self-taught artist from Lansing is painting the Dow Gardens with his glass art. He is scattering 14 different pieces all throughout the gardens. While walking through the gardens, you will just love trying to spot each one of them. In fact, when you arrive, you will be given a map as to where each piece is. You could take the kids and have a "scavenger hunt."
