While many visiting the city will want to visit places like the Grand Rapids Art Museum for a concert or an art exhibition, or maybe sit along the banks of the Grand River for a movie in the park, but for others, they seek a different path that is to many, hidden.
Rapid Growth recognizes that there are hidden gems all over the city and on Friday, downtown’s Dwelling Place invites you to tour four
hidden gardens of downtown at this special one night only event.
This free event (that you must RSVP to attend) starts at the Avenue for the Arts office at 120 South Division and features a walking tour to four distinct hidden gardens in the neighborhood. There will be two groups with one departing at 5:30 p.m. and the other at 7 p.m.
At these mysterious venues, you will meet the residents who tend to these gardens and might even be invited to try your hand at gardening as well.
After you are done with this insightful tour, you’re invited to join others for a neighborhood happy hour complete with music and libations.
The best part is this is a wonderful opportunity to connect with your city in a truly unique manner while also gaining valuable insights about how sweet life can be in the city for those with an urban green thumb.
