This past week my children and I visited the Environmental Interpretive Center
I am not sure if many people are aware of the old rose garden but it is absolutely stunning. Of course, there aren’t roses everywhere like when Henry Ford occupied the land but it is still inspiring to see. For my daughter, she enjoyed the pond and the open area to run crazily. She was really excited when we saw a large sized ground hog. He had to have been almost 20 pounds!
I, on the other hand, enjoyed the serenity of the garden. I felt as if the garden was a little secret that was tucked away from time. There is an informative stand that describes what the garden use to look like, who designed it, and why it looks different now. I remember that it stated that nature had over taken since it was no longer nurtured as it once was. It gave me something to think about especially as I walked along the strip of what once was beautiful stone lined pools but now are dried out pits.
I encourage everyone to take
sometime to visit the trails behind the Environmental Interpretive Center
