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.
