Jeannie's Travel Addiction

Enjoyably unique sights to be seen….

July 8, 2015

Linton’s Enchanted Gardens in Elkhart, Indiana  was  a must-see while I was exploring  the Amish Community of  Elkhart County.   It was like nothing I had ever seen before and  vastly exceeded my expectations!  Entrance to Linton’s  is free for,  in reality, it is a home and garden center.   They have  flowers, plants, bushes, trees, statuary,  gifts, chocolates,  jewelry and that’s only  the beginning.  There is also a cafe, petting zoo, train rides, paddle boat rides , kids play area and  gem stone mining.  Plus the greatest stroll  ever through their  incredible and imaginative  grounds.    I easily whiled away  a couple of hours as I had to be sure I didn’t miss anything.  Be ready to smile and feel  the kid in you come to the surface as you meander  through the gardens….

Pond inside the gift shop fully stocked with koi.

Also inside the gift shop, though I couldn’t  find a price tag on it.

Victorian  set among the flowers.

Linton’s version of Area 51 !

Every nook and cranny had an idea behind it and then took it a step further.

Pagoda time

The  Lost Mine to  compliment the gem stone mining.

I need one of these  in my  garden.

Paddle boating with grace.

Cottage with topiaries.

Trains ride.

Barn for the topiary animals.

Friendly bear waves at the passersby.

Lastly,  a bench  with  the greatest eco-friendly umbrella  to sit a spell and reflect on how many purchases  you can fit in the car.

Thanks for reading  !  Hope you enjoyed Linton’s!
