Gardenvisit Editorial

The garden was started, in 1900, by the man who founded the Dow Chemical Company. It was then developed by his son, an architect who had studied with Frank Lloyd Wright. The garden is inventive and imaginative. Its red lacquered handrails and bridges remind one of Wright's enthusiasm for Japanese and Chinese design, but they are modern in conception (more influenced by Art Deco than Cubism).

    We visited the Dow Gardens in the spring of 2008 and they had a wonderful butterfly exhibit going on in the conservatory. The cost to walk the garden was only $5.00/adult and it included the butterfly exhibit. There were a lot of colorful tulips and beautiful bridges over the ponds. It's great place to walk and enjoy nature.
