Wellfield Botanic Gardens

On Tuesday, July 15, a group of 9 colleagues went to Wellfield Botanic Gardens for a tour

with Kyle Strain. Kyle is a Cora Dale House member who also works at the Gardens. The

new construction that happened during our visit last year has been completed. Now they

have a fancy new welcome center, and the gardens are beautiful. There were many

different types of native and non-native plants. Some interesting finds included the

carnivorous plants, the sensory garden, and the Japanese garden. The garden was a great

learning experience and fun to explore, especially since the tour was given by Kyle. He

showed us his knowledge on the different plants and gardens. We even got to see parts of

the gardens that he designed.

If you are an Elkhart County resident with a state ID or driver's license, you can attend for

free during the summer on Tuesdays. Don’t forget to check the recreation cards for details

about any recreations you may be interested in attending. We can’t wait to see you and

hope you come out for the next one! - Parker Jack
