Azalea Path Arboretum and Botanical Gardens

Located in Hazelton, Indiana is a picturesque setting with thousands of azaleas.  The Azalea Path Arboretum and Botanical Gardens are truly a gem in southern Indiana.  When the azaleas are in full bloom this place is truly straight out of a fairytale.  The Azalea Path is a nonprofit and privately owned, and it's the perfect place to take photos and visit to soak up some stunning nature views.

Started in 1979, Beverly Knight took an overgrown forest and magically created a gardener's piece of art.

 Azalea Path Arboretum and Botanical Gardens is a nonprofit and privately owned facility located on the Gibson/ Pike County border in Southwestern Indiana.

What began with 15 acres and only a few azaleas and perennials has flourished into more than 4,000 azaleas plus a large variety of unusual plants and native Indiana trees.
