Wellfield Botanic Gardens is a 36-acre, non-profit botanical garden located at 1011 N. Main Street in Elkhart, Indiana. It uniquely serves a dual purpose as a beautifully landscaped, interactive "living museum" with over 20 themed spaces and an active, operational wellfield supplying the city’s drinking water.
Highlights and key details of the attraction include:
Location: Just a short drive (about 35-45 miles north) from Rochester, Indiana, making it a convenient regional day trip.
Dual Nature: The site leases land from the City of Elkhart, which still operates active wells and water infrastructure on the property alongside the gardens and ponds.
Features: The grounds feature wooded pathways, sculpture displays, waterfalls, and dedicated areas like a Children’s Garden and Japanese-style gardens.
Year-Round Activities: The site is open year-round and hosts various public events, educational workshops, weddings, and the popular summer "Groovin' in the Gardens" concert series.
You can find more details or plan your visit directly through the Wellfield Botanic Gardens' official website. https://www.wellfieldgardens.org/
