Another visit to Meijer Gardens

I've shared several times about our visits to Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park. Our daughter and SIL gave us a membership there and we love to go and walk around different areas.
They decorate for the different seasons and we were anxious to see the Fall decorations.



This is entering the gardens.  They had mums all over, it's supposed to have one of the largest displays of mums in the state.  They also had these pyramids of pumpkins and gourds along the paths.




This is a sculpture I hadn't seen before, and I thought it was pretty sweet.





They have a large Japanese Garden that we decided to walk around on this visit.























After we walked the Japanese Garden, we walked to the farm area which was loaded with mums and pumpkins.



















The paths through the woods had lights strung through them and barrels that had lights in them.  I'm sure it's really pretty at night.





They had pumpkins out in the woods along the paths too, and they are also lit at night.





Our last section to check was the wetlands walk.  Can you see the crane and heron out near the plants?












Another cute sculpture along the walk.






Here we are, walking back up to the building after spending about 3 hours walking through different areas of the gardens.

We're so thankful to have this place near us.  We've enjoyed it in all seasons!

Hi Mari! What a beautiful place to spend some time on a lovely fall day. A membership there is a wonderful gift from your daughter and son-in-law. I hope you have a great week!

I love this place! And I bet they have different decorations every year. You got some beautiful reflections. I think my favorites are the pumpkins in the woods and the water lily.

I always enjoy your photos of Meijer Gardens. Such a gorgeous place to walk through - kinda romantic in the evening with all the lights I bet!
