The Michigan 4-H Children’s Garden is located at 1066 Bogue St in East Lansing.

Operated by Michigan State University’s Department of Horticulture, this one-of-a-kind garden is simply overflowing with charm and natural beauty.

While the 4-H Garden is primarily intended for use by children, there’s a certain sense of magic here that seems to draw in kids and adults alike.

Marvel at colorful structures situated among lush greenery as you make your way through the garden. With sitting areas and all sorts of foliage, there’s plenty to love.

This half-acre locale features a Peter Rabbit garden, an Alice in Wonderland maze, and even an awesome secret garden that will thrill visitors.

As if that weren’t enough, the garden hosts a variety of special events throughout the year. From yoga to dinosaur-themed celebrations, you’ll find something to enjoy.

Take a seat on one of the benches within the 4-H Garden as you watch butterflies float by. Can you imagine a better spot to settle in with a good book?
