West of the Lake

This past weekend, took a quick trip about 25 miles south of the Gardens at Waters East to walk in the gardens at West of the Lake.


Such a nice way to spend a couple of hours walking in the gardens and seeing so many flowers in bloom. Great short get-a-way for the day.




It is the six acre property of the estate of John & Ruth West featuring a rose garden, Japanese, sunken and formal gardens, plus more.  It was a beautiful day here along the shores of Lake Michigan and as you can see – beautiful flowers in bloom.

 




Enjoy

And one more, from last year 2023 in the perennial beds.
They are changed every year.
This one brought a smile to my face,
just that kind of flower!
