Cranbrook Japanese Gardens — Attraction in Bloomfield Hills

Cranbrook Japanese garden

Just leaned about this places recently. Been living here for over 15 years. Had to visit after seeing images of the Japanese red bridge.

Not bad. The garden is good size. Not as big as Grand Rapids garden but ok. Really depends on the budge of the owner. I do like that they have real bamboo trees. Nice! Good parking. Nice overall.

When we went they were having some construction.

Hint:

Beautiful garden. Well maintained flower beds. Historical buildings. Nice walk around the lake. Japanese garden is very small part of the entire area. Good for a leisure walk. Must be beautiful during spring time.

Update : visited again during spring and as anticipated, it is...
