I’ve lived in Grand Rapids for years, but somehow I had never heard of this gorgeous little park until my coworker Wendy mentioned it.
She found it by chance near her house and quickly fell in love. And now, so have I.
Tucked away off Ball Avenue NE near the Kent/MSU Extension building, the Grand Ideas Garden (or GIG for short) is a peaceful, beautiful space designed to inspire both beginner and experienced gardeners.
It’s not just a pretty spot to walk through (though it definitely is that) It’s also a hands-on learning space…
