Join Master Gardener Jo Ann Klooz to learn how you might grow your own gardeny-goodness, whatever the outside temperatures might be.

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

Grow your own lettuce, inside, without soil! With an investment in lights and some supplies your farm to table distance can be measured in feet, not miles! Hydroponics is a wonderful way to keep learning about gardening. Jo Ann LOVES to share about this passion, and is ready to teach you 

  • Which plants are best-suited for growing indoors
  • What basic supplies you need to grow hydroponically
  • When is the best time of year to grow with hydroponics

Get ready or follow up by learning from this book list: Indoor Kitchen Gardens

About the branch

The 22,000 square foot Fort Ben Branch provides easy access to Library services and collections due to its location in a high-traffic community with access to public transportation. It includes community meeting spaces and study rooms, beautiful landscaping components, and walk-up, bike-up, and drive-up material return locations. Its roof-top solar photovoltaic system will provides 80% of the building's electricity needs. The Library was envisioned as part of a redevelopment plan since the land was decommissioned and transitioned from the U.S. military to the City of Indianapolis in the 1990s.

The Branch is the first library branch in the state of Indiana to become a Certified Autism Center™ by receiving an international autism accreditation through the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
