    A private garden where garden design, horticulture, wildlife and education intertwine to create a magical place. In total, 400 acres along a mile of Lake Michigan shoreline shine with 50 acres of composed gardens. The Gardens are a living expression of all that owner, Jay W. Christopher, finds meaningful, inspiring and beautiful. The gardens are only open to the public during limited times through the year. Features state-of-the-art greenhouse, rose garden, and Children's farm.

    This is a unique experience for families to explore along the meandaring forest trail  and discover the artistic carvings of James Tellen, a local furniture maker turned wood carver in the 1950's. Over 30 historic, religious, and mythic characters peek out among the forest. From cheeky, mischievous gnomes to a solid, life-sized lumberjack, these figures add a touch of surreal playfulness to the natural surroundings.
