A Gift Which Lasts All Year & Beyond . . . Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

 

Are you looking for a gift for your family? One which you do not have to worry about arriving in time for Christmas? One which is more than just another "thing" to open and shortly end up just taking up space? One which will help them connect and build memories? If so, then give the gift of either tickets to or a family membership to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park (or a botanical garden near you.)

My husband and I have a grandparents and a guest membership and we go almost every week. A couple weeks ago my daughter and I went for an hour or so (one of the many beautiful things about a membership - you are able to go for an hour or two and not feel bad about a short visit!) At any rate, we very much enjoyed time in the Tropical Conservatory - it was a chilly day here in West Michigan, so being able to be around plants was wonderful - and as we moved through the indoor areas, we saw Christmas trees are getting decorated, special Holiday displays are going up, and the wonderful model train was being put up! 

The past two Tuesday nights my husband and I enjoyed how all the trees are lit, the decorations are in place, the Railroad Garden is amazing, and the hundreds of Poinsettias in the Tropical Conservatory are completely beautiful! Their yearly Christmas & Holiday Traditions exhibit is now open and the word "wonderful" falls far short of describing how amazing and completely enjoyable it is! 

There are so many wonderful things about giving a membership to the Gardens - in the Spring the Butterflies will be "Blooming" (real butterflies fill the Tropical Conservatory in March and April), a walk to the Richard & Helen DeVos Japanese Garden is always absolutely delightful, and the park is filled with amazing sculptures! There is always something fantastic waiting for you to enjoy at Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park!

Whether you give tickets for one wonderful visit to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, or give a year-long family pass, this is a gift like no other - one which will engage your family in meaningful activity, learning about our world, developing an appreciation for nature and art, and creating memories which become part of your family's "story" (remember the time we went to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park and saw all the Christmas trees?!), this is a gift which will be loved by all who receive it. You will find all the details about giving tickets or a membership at this link - a gift which lasts for a year - and beyond! What could be better? Be sure to bring your camera!
