Posted on May 10, 2025 by Dina Miller
Spring and summer in Indiana’s Cool North bring vibrant gardens and colorful blooms to life. From tulips and daffodils in early spring to roses, coneflowers, and lilies in full summer, the region bursts with natural beauty. Botanical gardens, wildflower trails, and community parks offer serene escapes. Garden centers and farm markets overflow with fresh flowers, plants, and local produce, making it easy to bring the season home. Festivals and floral displays celebrate nature’s charm across this northern Indiana haven.
