Quilt Gardens on the Heritage Trail – See Patterns Burst into Bloom

Quilt Gardens on the Heritage Trail

 

Supersized gardens planted in quilt designs give visitors an exciting, unique, and free way to view the patterns that are so much a part of history in Indiana’s Cool North. More than a million vibrant blooms go into creating these living displays in 16 gigantic gardens that change each year along Elkhart County’s Heritage Trail, a winding loop that also passes through welcoming communities in Elkhart County and Shipshewana, and features area attractions and Amish life. The drive was voted a USA Today Readers Choice and named one of America’s Most Scenic Drives. The trail also includes hand-painted supersized quilt murals. (The gardens are on display from the end of May to mid-September)
