The sumptuous herb garden is maintained by the herb society of America – southeast Michigan unit, and the sunken garden layout is changed every year! More than 11,000 begonias were planted in 2015 & each year the sunken garden has a different layout and different types of flowers planted! Have you ever been to Cranbrook House & Gardens? Back when they still allowed weddings on the grounds, my sister-in-law married my brother-in-law here, and their wedding was spectacular! This is definitely one of the most beautiful gardens in all of Michigan, and we make it a point to visit at least once each summer.

I’m always blown away by how much care and love is poured into the gardens at Cranbrook. If you haven’t been, I recommend stopping by. They have a number of gardens you’re welcome to walk through, you can visit the Cranbrook House, and explore the grounds. They even host occasional parties and events that typically free to enjoy! Please be sure to leave me a comment below and let me know what you thought, and where in Michigan I should explore next!
