About Us
Bright Lane Gardens is a one-of-a-kind destination, just outside the beautiful Village of Lake Ann, Michigan. Offering; Nursery Plant Sales, a Local-Goods Gift Shop and Botanical Water Gardens.
Positioned between Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Bright Lane makes a great stop for both locals and visitors enjoying a Northern Michigan Getaway.
The property, formerly home to Waterscapes Unlimited and the Bright Family, has a rich history of delighting visitors with its various ponds and impressive landscape architecture.


Today, the property is owned by Nick & Anna Ohler. They are lovers of plants, the water, and everything that makes Northern Michigan a special place.
The Ohlers were looking for the right opportunity to open a business in the community. After discovering Bright Lane, it was hard for them to stop dreaming of the possibilities! Purchased in August of 2019, there was a lot of work to be done and adjustments to be made. However, they are eager to share this unique place and discover what can be accomplished here.
The Water Gardens and outdoor event venue is now scheduled to open Summer 2023, with a brand new pavilion and waterfall terrace. This space will be available for rental, and is a perfect spot for small events!
