A national historic landmark, the campus of Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills is one of the most picturesque destinations in metro Detroit. This summer, thanks to financial support from PNC Bank, Roberts Restaurant Group, and Meijer, you will be able to enjoy much of that beauty for free.
Throughout the 2015 season, the Cranbrook Gardens will be open daily to the public with no charge for admission.
"The gardens are part of the estate of Cranbrook's founders, Ellen and George Booth,"
writes IXITI. "The home is the oldest of metropolitan Detroit's historic manors. Its gardens, works of art and first-floor appointments are preserved as a testament to the Booths' gracious lifestyle, their interest in landscape gardening and their involvement in the American Arts and Crafts movement."
