If you like spaces that aren't crowded, this is a good place to visit. It's wide open and you don't have to talk to people once you get checked in. Japanese Garden The Japanese Garden is a newer section. It is past the initial installation phase and is now filling in with mature growth. The stone, water, and plant elements are stable, and the area looks more established than it did in its first couple of years. Event Spaces The newer event building has large windows facing the water. The interior is clean, minimal, and designed for rentals such as weddings, meetings, and receptions. There is also an outdoor pavilion used for concerts and smaller programs. Open lawn areas are used for events like Taste of the Gardens and seasonal community activities. Kids’ Area There is a children’s section with a sand pit, small water features, and simple play zones. It is compact and visible from multiple angles, so it’s easy for adults to supervise. The native wildflowers are located near the kids' area and it's amazing in full bloom. In spring, geese nest along the walking paths. Visitors should expect goslings on or near the trail. Dogs Dogs are allowed with a dog membership. They must stay leashed. Staff enforce this consistently. Accessibility The paths are paved, level, and continuous. The entrance has a long accessible ramp leading from the parking area into the garden. Wheelchairs and strollers move easily across the grounds. Way finding is simple because most of the garden follows the loop shape with clear cross-paths. Construction Notes When these photos were taken, the new building was complete but the landscaping around it was still growing in. Plants have been added, but some areas will look more finished as they mature. If you purchase a yearly membership for Wellfield, you also gain access to reciprocal access to other gardens such as Fernwood Botanical Garden , in Niles, MI.
