Who doesn’t love a cool, lush, green botanical garden on a hot summer’s day? Then let’s sketch two of them! Pack yourself a picnic lunch and join us for one or both places as your schedule allows!We will begin at a hidden gem - Kent/MSU Extension ’Grand Ideas Garden’ 10 am - 12 pm. You won’t want to miss this treasure. Remember to bring necessary accessories like a hat, sunscreen, water bottle, and a stool or chair.
Grand Ideas Garden
775 Ball Ave NE, GR 49503
Then we’ll break for a picnic lunch on the grounds sitting at tables and/or benches scattered around the gardens. (Bring your own food/drink because none will be provided. It is not a potluck picnic.)
After we have rested and are refreshed, we will drive the 3 miles to the Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park to sketch from 1 pm - 3 pm (and stay longer if you wish).
F M Gardens and Sculpture Park
1000 E Beltline Ave NE, GR 49525
There is so much to see and sketch both inside or out. There is an admission fee for this location:
Adults - $20
Seniors (65+) - $15
Students (with ID) - $15
Children (3-13) - $10
For any questions, contact host, Ann Rusky, or any other Admin: Marcia Schrotenboer, Bonnie Bosgraaf, or Bob Bosgraaf.
Please check back to Facebook for updates, because in case of rainy wet conditions, we may skip the outdoor Grand Ideas Garden and begin sketching indoor at F M Sculpture Park. We will have to be flexible with plans due to weather conditions.
See you there!
