GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Fall is less than a month away and the Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park is ready to usher in autumn with their annual fall horticulture exhibition.
The Meijer Gardens are excited to announce the return of the "Chrysanthemums & More!" exhibition for its 25th year.
Thousands of flowers will be in bloom across the park's 158 acres from Sep. 15 through Oct. 30.
This year's theme of "Autumn Tapestry" can be experienced throughout the exhibition with living landscapes of "rich textures and warm hues."
"This autumn, join us as we weave an Autumn Tapestry both inside and out," said Steve LaWarre, Vice President of Horticulture. "View artfully manipulated patterns of chrysanthemums and enjoy a multitude of textures provided by ornamental cabbage, kale, pumpkins, grasses, gourds—and more!"
The exhibition spans most of the grounds, including the Meijer Children's Garden, Grace Jarecki Seasonal Display Greenhouse, Earl & Donnalee Holton Victorian Garden Parlor and Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory.
