Oakhurst Gardens, located in Muncie, Indiana, covers over six acres. It was developed by Elizabeth Ball in the 1930s. Today, visitors can see a series of gardens, a renovated 1895 historic home, and a discovery cabin.
One of my favorite parts of the garden is the Children's Garden. There's a garden railroad, a vegetable garden, a Secret Garden, a Pizza Garden, Farmyard Garden, and Butterfly Garden. There's a fun hedge maze that leads to the Secret Garden, where kids can watch fish playing in the pond.
The gardens are open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Admission is free.
A pizza garden? I want one of those! Wonder where I can find a pepperoni and jalapeno pizza plant?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if pizza grew on plants? If you find a pizza plant, let me know!
DeleteOoo, what's in the discovery cabin?
ReplyDeleteA bunch of stuff related to gardening - plants, gardening tools, information about the gardens and creatures who live in the gardens.
Deletecan't go wrong with a railroad. And I wonder how many kids end up playing in the pond with the fish? Oops, I accidentally fell in.
ReplyDeleteProbably quite a few!
