Keeping in theme with my spring fever - I thought I would post some garden themed events happening around Indy - for those fellow Central Indiana Hoosiers who are getting cabin fever like me!
The Garfield Park Conservatory and Sunken Gardens located on the near-southside of Indianapolis is a perfect weekend trip to cure those winter blues! Their green-house is filled with tropical plants and flowers in full bloom. They also have many great events going on to lure you out for a visit.
Yoga at the Conservatory
Ages 12+, Cost $12/ Class, $80 Entire Session.
Yoga is an exercise that incorporates stretching, mindful breathing, strengthening and total relaxation. It can help to quiet the chatter of our minds as we honor our bodies and connect with our own sprirt. Please wear comfortable clothing that you are able to move in. Class fee will be paid directly to the instructor.
