I called a friend of mine that lives in the Grand Rapids area and asked what he would recommend to see if I was in GR. He suggested the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park - a mixture of botanical and artistic creations located in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Yes it's named after the founder of the Meijers Stores. Margaret & I went in late March 2009. Because we've had a late spring, there wasn't much to see on the grounds yet. However, They have a 3 story glass enclosed garden complete with stream and butterflies.
Lots of butterflies are hatching every day at this time of the year. You can walk among them like you are in Eden. I got up close and personal with a number of them.
Walking around the sculpture park you saw many strange and awe inspiring displays. You should have seen the size of the piles from this horse. It took a dump truck to clean it up.
Margaret tried to ask directions from these folks, but they didn't have much to say. Very quiet people.Here are a couple of the unusal scultures that we saw on our walking tour of the park.
Along the way we spotted a hawk waiting for a meal to appear. Watch out rabbit family.
