We recently visited the Quilt Gardens, a really fun ongoing garden tour in the Elkhart Indiana region.
Volunteer gardeners from that area installed more than a million plants in eighteen gardens. Flowers and colorful foliage plants are arranged to reproduce quilt patterns on a large scale.
Vibrant flowers reproduce quilt patterns.
Ornamental peppers provide color for this quilt garden.

This space next to a building is transformed by this quilt garden.
In addition to the gardens, twenty one large quilt pattern murals adorn assorted buildings along the tour.
This large quilt mural dresses up an otherwise drab wall.
Quilt makers will recognize the quilt patters.
The Quilt Gardens are open to the public now until October 1 and are free of charge. For downloadable maps and guides click here
Unless you’re short on time, we suggest you plan on taking at least two days to enjoy the gardens and other attractions along the way.
