Dahlia Hill Society cares for a free public garden and sculpture park at 2809 Orchard Dr in Midland, MI. Nearly 3,000 dahlias in more than 340 varieties grow across eight stone hillside terraces, with peak bloom from July through September. The garden is open year-round from sunrise to sunset. Four cast-aluminum sculptures representing the seasons are part of the grounds, bringing artist Charles Breed’s work into the garden he founded in 1998. The volunteer-run nonprofit also cares for the adjacent Equiline Museum, which holds Breed’s paintings, drawings and sculpture. Guided educational tours are available by appointment for garden clubs, school groups and other visitors seeking a closer look. The site has a unisex restroom and wheelchair-accessible parking. Located steps from Emerson Park and the Pere Marquette Rail-Trail, and minutes from downtown Midland, MI, Dahlia Hill places its terraced plantings and art near other public outdoor spaces.
