StoryWalk Grand Opening
in Partnership with The Indianapolis Public Library
Join us for the grand opening and celebration of the Wake Up, Woods StoryWalk installation in The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park.
StoryWalk promotes literacy, physical activity, and family time in nature. Newfields and The Indianapolis Public Library partnered to bring the pages of Mike Homoya’s children’s book, Wake Up, Woods, to weather-resistant panels along a short path in The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art & Nature Park. This spring, the Indiana Native Plant Society will plant the native plants, which were funded by the Indianapolis Garden Club, that appear in the pages of the book and in the ground surrounding each stop on the StoryWalk.
Author of Wake Up, Woods and former State Botanist, Mike Homoya, will be leading two walks, one at 10 AM and another a 1 PM, each followed by a book signing in the Ruth Lilly Visitors Pavilion in celebration of Earth Day.
Newfields will be serving up themed refreshments from the snack truck near the Ruth Lilly Visitors Pavilion from 10 AM through 3 PM.
