Michigan State has several
gardens on its campus. The most appealing may be the
4-H Children's Garden. The garden is appropriately small-scaled and packed with colorful flowers and structures.
Features include a maze, a swinging "gate" that powers a fountain when kids swing on it, a pond with turtles and fish, a rustic treehouse, and lots of plants. The gardens are themed-- Pioneer Garden, Kitchen Garden, International Garden, Cereal Bowl Garden-- and combine grains, vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. When my daughter was little, her favorite feature was the
Sensitive Plant whose leaves folded when she touched them.
Admission is free.
Parking $3
(I recommend arriving by
bike.)
