Review:
The Friendship Botanic Gardens are beautifully preserved botanical gardens at the eastern edge of Michigan City that spans 106 acres and features a wide range of flora from around the world. Located just a mile from the beaches of Lake Michigan, the gardens were founded over 80 years ago as the International Friendship Gardens and Music Festivals and still feature some of the original ethnic gardens. Other attractions in the preserve include spectacular rose gardens, displays of lilies, hand-carved sculptures, a dedicated children’s garden which encourages learning through touch, sight, and smell, and a Symphony Garden in which musical events are held. The gardens are open to the public from May through October.
