Indiana Botanic Gardens, Botanical garden in Hammond, United States
Indiana Botanic Gardens spans across 10 acres of land along the Little Calumet River, featuring numerous plant species and medicinal herbs in diverse displays.
Joseph Meyer established the Indiana Botanic Gardens in 1910, starting with a small cottage operation that grew into a 36,000-square-foot English-style building by 1926.
The gardens maintain a collection of educational materials, including the notable 400-page publication The Herbalist and The Herbalist Almanac, documenting traditional plant knowledge.
The facility operates as both a botanical display center and a retail establishment, offering herbs, supplements, vitamins, and natural health products to over 15,000 visitors annually.
The gardens combine traditional herbal knowledge with modern health practices, housing the largest and oldest herb retail operation in the United States.
