Is there anything more peaceful than a beautiful garden? Perfectly arranged greenery, sweet-scented flowers, and artistic touches throughout — all of these things and more make for a simply magical garden experience. Luckily for us, there’s one such garden in the Detroit area, and you’ll immediately fall in love with its charm and natural ambiance.
Head to 380 Lone Pine Road in Bloomfield Hills to find Cranbrook Gardens.
The gardens at Cranbrook are nestled among the property of a historic Metro Detroit estate, which draws in hundreds of visitors each year.
Cranbrook Gardens features over 40 acres of stunning flowers, plants, and other natural wonders. As soon as you arrive, you’ll be completely charmed.
Peruse row after row of blooming flora and walk alongside small streams and ponds that help bring the garden to life. Talk about magical!
Majestic fountains and statues are tucked away throughout Cranbrook Gardens, giving the entire area a truly ethereal vibe.
Check out the Herb Garden or wander through the one-of-a-kind Japanese Garden, which features a perfectly secluded setting that will transport you to another world.
Another gem at Cranbrook is the Sunken Garden, which is known for its thousands of colorful perennials. Each year, the flowers within the Sunken Garden are carefully arranged to create true works of natural art.
There’s no doubt that these gorgeous gardens lend themselves perfectly to being photographed, so make sure to bring your camera to snap a few pictures.
After all, a visit to Cranbrook Gardens is the perfect way to escape from the hustle and bustle of city life — and you might never want to leave.
You can visit the gardens free of cost between May and October each year — so there are only two short months to wait until they open for the season. For more information about Cranbrook Gardens and the famous estate they sit on, click here.
