Frederik Meijer Gardens

Primarily a "sculpture garden," the Frederik Meijer Gardens is a beautiful
destination just outside of Grand Rapids, Michigan:

"Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park opened in April 1995 after 13 years of planning and fundraising by the West Michigan Horticultural Society. In 1990, Fred and Lena Meijer were asked for their support, and they embraced the concept of a major cultural attraction centering around horticulture and sculpture. The original vision has turned into a top cultural destination within the Midwest region, known internationally for the quality of its art and gardens."

I had the pleasure of visiting the gardens recently, while a huge amount of Chihuly glass was being displayed. I also recommend visiting during their Butterflies Are Blooming event, which is spectacular.
