From the reviews

My husband and I love the Michigan State Horticulture Gardens. We got married here because of how beautiful it is. Aside from that, we go here often during the spring and summer just to walk around and see the beautiful flowers and other landscape.

All photos are taken and distributed by Be Photographed. Bri and Zach’s wedding at the Horticultural Gardens was absolutely stunning. When I take photos here, I’m always impressed by how many beautiful outdoor ceremony options there are.

★★★★★ — Brooke, Oct 2025

One of those magical places on Michigan State University’s campus, with an amazing range of roses and clematis, scents from every part of the world, and an awesome koi pond with lily pads and irises. This is a great place for a walk after dinner. There are plenty of benches you can sit on if you need a rest in between.

★★★★★ — Gordon, Jun 2022

Summer? It's time to visit this place then. Flowers start blooming this week. This place is also common to be used for wedding events.
