Harris Gardens

Public garden at North Central Michigan College with themed plantings and a quiet campus setting.

Harris Gardens is a small public garden on the North Central Michigan College campus in Petoskey. It is not a grand botanical garden, but it offers a pleasant change from waterfront walks, with seasonal plantings and a quiet campus atmosphere.

The garden is best for travellers who enjoy slow, local stops or need an easy pause between downtown Petoskey and inland drives. It is also a good reminder that Petoskey's appeal is not only the bay; the town's wooded, residential edges have their own calm.
