Christmas & Holiday Traditions at Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park

Tuesday night my husband and I visited Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park to see their yearly Christmas & Holiday Traditions exhibit, which is now open and it is wonderful! There are 46 trees and cultural displays and more than 300,000 colorful lights - inside and out. The Railway Garden in the Earl and Donnalee Holton Victorian Garden Parlor is wonderful - I loved all the buildings built from natural items of our own city of Grand Rapids - there is even a mini Calder sculpture - it is Fantastic!

Meijer Gardens says; "This exhibition—

honoring cultures and
holiday traditions from around the world—has grown to 46 unique displays depicting fact and folklore, past and present. University of Michigan Health-West: Christmas & Holiday Traditions is a hallmark Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park exhibition. Dedicate time to appreciate the stunning presentations of winter plantings, the artistry of our adorned Christmas trees, intriguing cultural displays and the beloved Railway Garden. Venture outdoors and discover the beauty of nature with wintertime walks. Indoors and out, our magnificent grounds sparkle with 350,000 lights."

Of course the Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory is one of my favorite places at the Garden - the plants are beautiful, what's not to love about the waterfall and hundreds of beautiful poinsettias, Christmas lights, wonderful displays, the birds, and so much more!

If you live near Frederik Meijer Gardens, or will be in the Grand Rapids, MI area between now and January 7, 2024, please plan to visit - you will be SO glad you did!
