Workers at Frederik Meijer Gardens are diligently preparing for the highly anticipated annual chrysanthemum display set to enchant visitors this October.
Getting Ready for Fall Splendor
As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, Meijer Gardens gears up for the 26th year of its iconic 'Mums at Meijer Gardens' display. Thousands of vibrant chrysanthemums, along with an array of fall foliage and decorations, will adorn the gardens from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31.
Senior Vice President of Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park, Steve LaWarre, expressed his enthusiasm for the garden's transition from summer to fall, showcasing a stunning metamorphosis of the landscape. The meticulous preparation includes replacing summer plants with chrysanthemums, grasses, kale, cabbage, pumpkins, and gourds. The seasonal room will feature a live wall, cornucopias brimming with pumpkins and gourds, and an assortment of captivating fall decor - a true visual delight for visitors.
Exciting Seasonal Events
In addition to the breathtaking chrysanthemum display, Meijer Gardens will host 'Autumn At Meijer Gardens' every Tuesday night throughout October. This series of events will offer visitors an opportunity to indulge in an enchanting ambiance with food trucks, live music, entertainment, and interactive games at the horse plaza, promising a delightful experience for all.
