My aunt used to work at the gardens unfortunately her hearing has always been very poor and now she's 99% deaf and can't work in the conventional sense. She now does beautiful art using nature as her inspiration HERE .

My cousin had her wedding there and it was amazing. We wandered through the butter fly habitat and the desert and all the way back to see Da Vinci's horse. It's really a great place. I Suggest anyone who ever gets the chance to visit Grand Rapids to check it out.
