It spans miles of trails and land with collections of native and exotic trees and shrubs crafted into a landscape that was first cultivated in 1907 at the hands of O. C. Simonds. The arboretum contains specialty gardens, thematic areas, dispersed collections, culturally significant landscapes, natural areas, and active areas of ecosystem restoration research. The land is wild and free while remaining well-cared for by gardeners over the years.

The gardens are owned and operated by Michigan State University under the division of Land Management. But the vision for this natural wonderland began in 1926, when an Adrian businessman named Harry A. Fee purchased Hidden Lake and the 200 acres surrounding it. Fee spent many years developing the land, erecting buildings, building roads, planting flowers, shrubs and trees, and creating a beautiful place for visitors to enjoy. He donated the land to Michigan State University in 1945, and the rest is history!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The gardens have grown to include raised flower beds, a plant conservatory, hosta and rhododendron gardens, an arboretum, dwarf and rare conifers, a demonstration garden, and more. Plus, because of the network of roads throughout, you can quickly and easily access different areas by car. Hidden Lake Gardens is open 360 days a year with an admission fee of just $5 per person, with an optional $3 guided tour that must be requested at least two weeks in advance.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/housegardens.cranbrook.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/housegardens.cranbrook.edu\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1645722452773000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29mYkxKLSB7LS2BRuEpEnS\" rel=\"noopener\">Cranbrook House &amp; Gardens<\/a> | Bloomfield Hills<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cranbrook.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-88562\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-88562 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cranbrook.jpeg\" alt=\"Cranbrook House &amp; Gardens | Bloomfield Hills, MI\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sweetvalleyunit19.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cranbrook.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/sweetvalleyunit19.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cranbrook-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sweetvalleyunit19.reinhartrealtors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Cranbrook-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 850px) 100vw, 850px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo Courtesy of Eric Franchy\u00a0via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/housegardens.cranbrook.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/housegardens.cranbrook.edu\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1645722452773000&amp;usg=AOvVaw29mYkxKLSB7LS2BRuEpEnS\" rel=\"noopener\">Cranbrook House &amp; Gardens<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Get a history and horticulture lesson all in one at Cranbrook House &amp; Gardens, a beautiful historic estate in Bloomfield Hills.
