If you’re in search of a spiritual experience, get yourself to the Hoosier State’s own Garden of Eden in Warsaw, Indiana. This unique and gorgeous paradise is a place of tranquility and sacredness that you can feel from the moment you arrive.
Nature lovers will especially enjoy a morning or afternoon traversing this marvelous oasis. Check it out:
Construction on the Warsaw Biblical Gardens began in 1985 in northern Indiana with this magical place officially opening in June 1991. This incredible paradise is situated where once the Levin and Sons Scrap yards sat for eons.
The gardens are designed to contain the plant species of the Bible. Encompassing about .75-acres, this Garden of Eden is home to about 100 marvelous plants that are on display April through October.
The Holy Land was known for its diverse climates, which is what allows these trees, bushes, flowers, and other life to grow in the Midwest. Each plant you see is mentioned in either or both of the Old and New Testaments.
People of all faiths and ages are welcomed and impressed by these spiritual gardens. While most choose to roam around self-guided, one-hour tours are available May 15 through September 15 for $2. Add a plant book for $3.
In all, visitors will pass through the Meadow, the Orchard, the Forest, the Desert, the Wet and Dry Brook, and the Crop area, all of which are climates spoken of in the Bible. Here is a place where you can enjoy the peace and tranquility that comes as close to the Garden of Eden as possible.
