Here Are The 12 Most Beautiful Gardens You’ll Ever See In Indiana
It was a couple weeks ago, but I had someone ask if there was a way I could do a list of gardens in Indiana. They wanted to know where they could go to look at beautiful flowers and foliage. I’ve only been to a couple of gardens in the state myself, so I decided to do a little research. Turns out, there are tons of gardens scattered all over the state. I think you’re really going to enjoy this list and the pictures that go with it.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
