Annual Garden Walk FAQs
1. What do visitors do at the Garden Walk?
Visit five or six creative private gardens, especially chosen for their variety, and a themed Flower Show at the Hilltop Garden & Nature Center, Indiana University, 2367 E. 10th Street. Visitors are invited to stroll the gardens at their leisure in any order on both days. Cameras are welcome.
2. Do Garden Walk visitors need transportation?
Transportation is required as you progress from garden to garden in whatever order you prefer. Gardens are not usually close enough for visitors to walk comfortably.
3. At the Garden Walk, may visitors smoke?
To ensure the safety and well-being of all visitors, we ask that there be no smoking, no strollers, and no pets. We regret that access may be limited for wheelchairs. Bikes may be parked on the front sidewalk or at curbside.
4. How do visitors locate each garden?
Garden Walk tickets provide garden addresses and a detailed map to help you find each garden location.
