Purdue University Horticulture Gardens, Botanical garden at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana.
The Jules Janick Horticulture Garden spans half an acre near the Horticulture Building, featuring diverse trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and bulbs throughout the grounds.
Founded in 1982, the gardens received substantial improvements in 2019 when they were dedicated to professor emeritus Jules Janick for his contributions to horticultural research.
The gardens serve as an educational center where Master Garden students, volunteers, and the Purdue University Horticulture Department maintain over 300 plant cultivars.
Visitors can access the gardens throughout the year at 625 Agriculture Mall Drive, with self-guided tours available to explore the collections of ornamental grasses and flowering plants.
A 70-year-old American beech tree stands as the centerpiece, providing shade for specialized areas including rock gardens, prairie gardens, and spring ephemeral gardens.
