Imagine
a beautiful valley, surrounded by forested hills. Imagine it
dotted with gardens, spreading lawns, towering trees and
divided by a rushing creek. Imagine silence, punctuated by
the calls of birds, the laughter of children and the ringing
of bells. This is Friendship Gardens, a sheltered treasure
nestled on the eastern edge of Michigan City, Indiana.
These are historic gardens, inspired by the 1933 Century of
Progress Fair in Chicago and created on land traced with trails
used for centuries by Native Americans.
The gardens are open to welcome you the second weekend of May
through the last weekend of October. They are open Wed -
Sun 10 AM – 4 PM. Admission is $4 with a
limit of $10 per family and children under 12, free.
IFG
grounds are accessed by walking earthen trails and lawns. A
golf cart is available to transport those with mobility
limitations.
The gardens are available to
rent for weddings and other events. A variety of concerts
and other cultural activities are scheduled. IFG is owned and managed by a not-for-profit board. Volunteers and
Donors are the lifeblood of this facility. Furthermore, it depends
on contributions of time and resources for continued
growth.
