Calvin Ecosystem Preserve and Native Gardens
1750 E Beltline Ave SE, Grand Rapids, MI 49546
Created in 2018 to showcase the beauty and diversity of native plants, this botanical garden is a living field guide containing more than 200 species of plants found in Michigan. Over 20 mini gardens feature a variety of planting styles. They draw inspiration from both natural landscapes as well as familiar gardening styles such as cottage, pollinator, and shade gardens. Preserve staff, Jeanette and Dena, will be onsite to answer questions and share tips and tricks for growing native plants. The glasshouse will also be open to purchase native plants.
