2026 GARDEN WALK

Boulevard in Bloom

Experience this Meridian Kessler treasure with its historic, stately home, built in 1925 and underwent an extensive two-year renovation. Now modern living blends seamlessly with a tastefully designed pool, luxurious reflective sauna, and a covered patio that combines harmoniously with the green and wooded landscape. This garden boasts raised beds filled with cutting flowers and fresh vegetables as well as hydrangea, early bloomers including tulips and daffodils, and an abundance of containers overflowing with seasonal flowers.

Garden Melodies

This enchanting property is a true gardener’s garden featuring plants with history  incorporating special musical melodies. The homeowner is not only a gardener, but also a musician, and she showcases musical compositions inspired by specific garden plants. The home was built in 1929 and contains many original stained-glass windows. Plant materials to note are the hyacinth arbor, sweet autumn clematis arch, moon flowers, butterfly magnolia tree, heritage birch tree, and many native plants that attract pollinators.

The Crow's Nest

Are you ready to step into not only a charming garden estate but a piece of Indianapolis history? This remarkable property was built in the 1900’s and served as a summer escape for prominent Indianapolis families. Prepare to get lost in its expansive meadow with hollow tree habitats, remnants of an original swimming pool, and a beautiful timbered gazebo. Plant materials are bountiful and distinctive. A true historic garden gem in the city.

Horticulture Haven

With a fabled history and a bright future, this magnificent property is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. From ravine gardens to broad sweeping lawns, it was once home to a leading family of Indianapolis. This sensational property was host to the Garden Walk thirty years ago at our inaugural event. Thirty years later, it is back on tour, and the gardeners will be present to answer questions and offer insights into the landscape. Prepare to be amazed as you view the past and the present at this inimitable estate garden.

Monon Oasis

The Monon Trail occupies the former corridor of the Monon Railroad, which was in operation from the 1840’s to the 1980’s, connecting Chicago, Indianapolis, and Louisville. Stroll into this beautiful Monon Oasis through a decorative wrought iron gate and admire the home that was built in 1935. This delightful garden exudes neighborhood charm which boasts complementary plant material, garden art, and unique garden ornaments that have been collected over many years. Unique features include a Zen Garden, a darling hand-painted potting shed, and a hydroponic garden.
