Beautiful views and many nice places to sit and enjoy creation.
Certainly worth visiting!
Lots of pretty memorial gardens that are lovingly maintained, with benches and pretty views of the lake.
DeTour Village is where the Drummond Island ferry leaves from. DeTour has a population of 321 people. Yesterday we saw a sign for the DeTour Village Botanical Gardens. Today we went and checked it out. The garden is maintained by volunteers and contributions. Many of the gardens are memorials. Beautiful location, right on the St. Mary’s River. It is a serene place. Proving that you don’t need a lot of people to make the world a better place.
Memorials to late loved ones were thoughtful and meaningful. I understand and appreciate them. But they are not attractive and not what I expected in a botanical garden. They were also not well maintained. However, the gardens provide a peaceful relaxing walk near the shoreline, benches to relax on, and wildflowers to enjoy! I recommend the peaceful space. Thank you to those who provided it.
Such a special place to explore. The DeTour Village Botanical Gardens is maintained by volunteers who take pride in their unique gardens. Some gardens are memorials for loved ones, many are well-established, and others are works in progress. The frog pond is neat too. (Look for more frogs in the birdhouses!). Freighter watching and rock skipping are also unique aspects of this spot. Picnic tables and a nature preserve are also adjacent to the gardens. You can tell that a lot of time and energy is put into this little gem. Well worth a visit!
