Salute to the Guild!
We have a wonderful group of volunteers who put together two of our largest fundraisers of the year – Nature’s Noel in December and the Plant Sale in May. These (mostly) ladies put months and months of planning into these events and just do a fabulous job. And although they mostly prefer to stay behind the scenes, we wanted to say thanks and let them know we just couldn’t do this without them!
Shoppers look for the perfect plant
Come out this Saturday – May 5th – from 9AM until 12Noon for our annual Plant Sale. Native annuals and perennials, hosta, wildflowers, prairie grasses are available, as are herbs, peonies and other beautiful, healthy plants. Yard art and rain barrels also on sale. Get here early!!
Welcome to our new website!
We’ve been working hard since late last year and we’re proud to introduce you to our labor of love! Spring seems to be just the right season to see this beautiful new site in bloom. Fresh new pictures, a whole lot of updated information, an improved and easily accessible calendar and our coolest new feature – online registration!
We have so many interesting, fun programs going on out here and we thought the old calendar was a little hard to find. Then you had to wait until we were open to get signed up for these cool programs. Not any more! You can go online any time that’s convenient for you, read about all the neat stuff we’re doing and sign up! Easy as pie!
A HUGE thank you to all the folks at Henry Russell Bruce who designed the new site and helped us through the process of getting it ready for you to see. We think they did a brilliant job!
Let us know what you think! Send us an email under “Contact us” with your comments, suggestions, thoughts, ideas or whatever you’d like to share with us. If you’re on Facebook, don’t forget to “Like” us…and tell your friends to do the same! Happy Spring…Happy New Website!
Plant Sale Saturday, May 1st!
Come one, come all! The Nature Center’s spring plant sale is Saturday, May 1st from 9 AM until Noon! Vendors from around the area and our own fund-raising group (The Guild) will be offering native plants and seeds, perennials, herbs and more!
Be at the Nature Center bright and early, we’ll see you here!
The great big post of event wrap-ups!
Have you been busy this Spring? Because the Nature Center sure has!
On April 25, approximately seventy ladies joined us for the 16th Annual Women’s Walking Workshop. Though it was cool and a little rainy, everyone had a blast! Here you can see everyone stretching and doing yoga, even though it was raining!
This past weekend, Indian Creek Nature Center’s guild held our annual Spring Plant Sale. Almost 700 people showed up to buy vegetables, herbs and native flower varieties for their gardens. Everyone left with an armful of greenery and a smile on their face, and the day couldn’t have been more lovely!
Sunday, we held a very special event, when we officially opened the “new property”, Věčný Woods! (“Věčný” means “everlasting” or “perpetual” in the Czech language, and was chosen to express that the woods will be protected forever.)
Representative Dave Loebsack came to the event…
…the stone marker was unveiled…
…and now, you could be here!
Come out to the Nature Center, there is plenty of Spring to go around!
