Gardens and Flowers populate the marina grounds. When your boating and on vacation, you need time to stop and smell the flowers. At Eldean Shipyard it is common to see people stopping to look at, point out, and smell the many lovely varieties of plants and flowers, We have 2 landscapers/gardeners on staff and they work year round at creating these inviting gardens. We have won the Holland Area Beautiful Award 3 times. Having a certified, "Master Gardener," on staff has its benefits.

Many years ago, Herb Eldean grew many of the flower varieties himself in a Greenhouse located at his home. The flowers would then be transplanted across the Marina Grounds.

Many of our boaters are excellent photographers. Many thanks to photographer Jim Canel (C-16) for the beautiful photos on this flower tour. If you have pictures of Lake Michigan, Marina Events, Boats, or other interesting photos, please send us an email.
