These gardens are so incredibly beautiful. What a magnificent place to have a wedding.

Dan was born and raised on this piece of property which originally belonged to his grandfather. He and his partner, Walt, were approached by the city of Billings 17 years ago and were asked to open their gardens to the public. That first year they had 3 weddings held there. In 2011 they had 53 weddings.

Please enjoy the gorgeous flowers. My pictures do not do them justice.

The aisle that Michaela will be walking down. They can seat 170 people in this area. We aren’t expecting quite that many.

They also have chickens on the property. Not sure why but this guy sure was telling everybody what to do.

    Lovely place for a wedding, or just for walking through! Our grandson's wedding was held in a special "garden" in Idaho, but it was more carved out of a pine forest. Kind of a neat thing to do these days.

    I love the idea that this couple was willing to open their garden to the public. What a wonderful way of giving back to the world.
