Also called "Where the Wild Things Are," join Jo Ellen to consider how you can invite the wild things into your landscape so they can pollinate plants, eat bugs, and add beauty. Learn which plants provide food and shelter for butterflies, birds, and other wildlife.

The IndyPL Seed Library is great, but what is even better is learning what to do with those seeds!

Join Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp (The Hoosier Gardener) to think about

About the branch

As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
