Indiana & Michigan
Road Trip Rule number one for making your stress melt away—get off the interstates. Sure, the fast highways can get you to your destination fast (except when they can’t) but it’s amazing how a trip to Indiana or Michigan is instantly transformed once you make a right turn down an exit ramp and start tooling along a nice two-lane local highway.
There’s so much to see—cows, horses, interesting old farm houses, farm stands with fresh local produce, good restaurants. The pace of life suddenly slows down as you take your foot off the accelerator, and the grass gets greener. Really.

Just one look at the map says it all—Wisconsin is a wonderland when it comes to things horticultural, and the rolling landscape with its glacial moraines make it a history lesson as well. Clearly one day will never be enough. Neither will a weekend. With so many places to visit, you’re going to find yourself returning again
and again. Each public garden listed here is memorable, but so are the garden centers with their interesting niche offerings. And don’t forget to pick up some cheese on your way home.

cook it, serve it and share it. We feature artisan home goods, classic garden tools, pottery, nature-inspired chil-dren items and so much more.
