🌻Open Garden Day🌺  FREE EVENT

Sunday, June 29, 2025
10am-2pm. Rain or shine. (In case of severe weather, check here and Facebook for updates.)
Location:
8301 Fawnsbrook Dr.
Fishers, Indiana 46038
Parkway and front beds are handicap accessible, other sections of yard have a bit of terrain. Bring sun protection, bug spray, and water. Wear shoes for a proper walk- flip flops and sandals are not recommended. There are no restroom facilities, so plan accordingly (restaurants are about a mile from here, on SR 37). Tours to field and creek will take about 30-45 minutes, front beds and side yard about the same. But you can duck out whenever, or stay as long as you like. You are welcome to take photos. Street parking is limited - please be super nice to our neighbors, and carpool if possible. 

We will make a Facebook Event page so you can let us know you’re coming. Last year, it was pretty busy. It’s a big place though, with lots to see and talk about, so there’s plenty of room. We will have a larger selection of seed packets than we’ve ever had before, and seed mixes (including the one we used in our parkway) for sale as well as the books that are on our website now, and other handy new items. Possibly a few plants- we’ll have to see how that goes. Hope to see you all soon!
