Breath taking. Big up the grounds staff who plants these flowers and keeps the area clean.They do an amazing job throughout the year because as the seasons change so do the flowers. The garden is definitely secret but easy to find. Way more beautiful than these photos display. It’s a great place to take photos essentially wedding pics but just be mindful of other visitors. The garden is small and everyone is there to take nice pictures, be considerate. It’s not really a must do on your Mackinac Island to~do~list but is a nice addition. If you get a chance to check it out, do so.

What an awesome garden. We had to circle the grounds to finally find the entrance, but find it we did. We heard voices within, which alerted us to go to the right opening and get inside. The different types of flowers were so pretty, and it was secluded enough that it was still serene and largely without blemish. Be sure to clean up after yourself, and don’t let your kids or pets dig up any of the beautiful flowers! Keep this place nice for others as well as yourself.

One of the best parts of the island IMO. I had low expectations but even the entry into the garden was an experience. Its pretty small and only takes like 10 min to walk around, but you can tell a lot of effort went into it and its a very peaceful area. Other than a discrete sign, you can't really tell where it is. We initially went into the plant nursery nearby by accident. The entryway is also gorgeous during fall. On your way out - one of the best views.

Loved The Secret Garden especially the area with the bridge. Unfortunately, when we were there, the flowers were just past peak, though, I think they constantly change out the flowers. We had gone the day after a hail storm, which probably didn't help and flattened, what I believe were tulips, but it was still absolutely beautiful regardless. I'd recommend going early in the day. We were there a little before 130 during the Lilac Festival Week on a Tuesday (mid-June). It wasn't busy or crowded, but I imagine going early in the morning, there are even less people, which would contribute to the Secret...
