Indian Gardens is a populated place situated on the east side of Oak Creek Canyon, in Coconino County, Arizona, United States, north of Sedona.

[2] It has an estimated elevation of 4,603 feet (1,403 m) above sea level.

[1] The first white settler in Sedona, John James Thompson, settled at Indian Gardens in 1876.

[3] Thompson called the place Indian Gardens because natives grew corn and squash on the site.

[4] In 1965, residents living along the east side of Oak Creek started the Indian Gardens Improvement Association to deal with local issues, most specifically the rebuilding of a washed out bridge which cut off access to property owners.
