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

coming from Michigan and into the port of Manitowoc.














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!
