This garden located in the middle of Michigan's lower peninsula is a true hidden treasure. Even though they are in a rather harsh environment for rhododendrons, they have a very nice collection. They are also doing research trying to find varieties of birch trees that are resistant to the bronze birch borer. Well worth a visit to this outstanding garden.
