About Garden

Tucked along the Garden Peninsula in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, Garden is a peaceful waterfront village with fewer than 200 residents. Life here moves at a quiet, unhurried pace, centered around scenic water views and easy access to the bay. Highway 183 runs right through town, connecting locals to US 2 and nearby spots like Fayette Historic State Park. For anyone looking for a tight-knit coastal community with plenty of room to breathe, Garden offers classic small-town charm right on the water.
