Quilt Gardens MapWhen can I see the Quilt Gardens?
The Quilt Gardens are viewable May 30 - September 15 each year during all daylight hours. Elkhart County is on Eastern Standard Time which means in summer time, daylight can mean perfect garden enjoyment as late as 8 or 9 p.m. each evening. Many people like to go back to their favorite site to see them at different light and times of the day.
Learn more about the quilt gardens.Are the Quilt Gardens and Quilt Murals all in one location?
No, they are not all at one location. The Quilt Gardens and hand-painted Quilt Murals are spread throughout the cities and towns of Bristol, Elkhart, Goshen, Middlebury, Nappanee, and Wakarusa along the Heritage Trail in Elkhart County.
How do the Quilt Gardens and Quilt Murals look right now?
The Quilt Gardens are planted on May 30 and are then what we lovingly call “baby gardens”. As the summer season heats up, and the inevitable rain & heat hit, the gardens fill in, grow and become just gorgeous and filled with surprises.
Our volunteers work hard with each of Mother Nature's challenges to provide you the best experience and are committed to pattern appreciation and view ability. What’s neat about this event, is one garden is having some challenges, keep going to the next one on the Heritage Trail.
They are all at different stages due to soil content, weather, and local environments. For real time info give the Visitors Center a call at 800-262-8161 for today’s garden update. The Quilt Murals always look fabulous! We hope you enjoy them all!
Are the Quilt Gardens Accessible?
Quilt Gardens are best experienced from the walkways and lawns surrounding each site's location. Some Quilt Gardens can be viewed from your vehicle, but that does not provide the optimal experience. A few Quilt Gardens locations provide viewing platforms accessible by a handful of steps. Most Quilt Murals are visible from the car or sidewalk.
