It's our 10th Anniversary
This year’s Quilt Garden pattern, “Crossroads of Nappanee,” portrays two highways intersecting in the center. Those roads are U.S. 6, also known as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway, and S.R. 19. The middle section being the historical community of Nappanee. The larger sections within the big diamond symbolize the unique characteristics
of this progressive community.

The garden features three different types of coleus plants and parsley that provides color and will tolerate the hottest days of summer. "There, Now You Can Grow"
The Seward Johnson sculpture that will grace our 2017 garden features a little girl, with a straw hat hanging from her neck and wearing overalls, waters nearby flowers. "There, Now You Can Grow" by Seward Johnson ©1993 The Seward Johnson Atelier, Inc.
