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!
