Dow Gardens, Botanical garden in Midland, United States.
Dow Gardens is a 110-acre complex with diverse plant collections organized throughout the property, connected by walking paths and rest areas. The grounds feature open spaces suitable for gatherings and outdoor activities.
Herbert Dow established the gardens in 1899 as part of his family estate. The property later gained recognition as a National Historic Landmark and remains managed by the Dow Foundation.
The gardens create spaces where visitors can discover different plant species and their origins through thoughtfully arranged sections. Walking through these areas helps people connect with the natural world in a direct way.
The gardens are open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM. Wear sturdy shoes since the paths vary in surface and include some inclines throughout the property.
The Whiting Forest section includes one of the longest tree canopy walks in the country. The elevated pathways let visitors see the forest from an unusual vantage point that few people experience.
