Mini Pines

Fondly referred to as the “Mini Pines,” this building houses our irrigation equipment. The structure was intentionally designed to resemble The Pines, the historic home of Herbert H. and Grace A. Dow. We invite you to stand on the front porch of the “Mini Pines” and take in the views of the surrounding Orchard.

Guided tours of the actual Pines Home are offered throughout the year. For more information regarding Pines Home tours, please give us a call at 989.631.2677, visit our website at www.dowgardens.org, or ask our friendly Visitor Center staff!
