Growing Thru Gardening Expo
8am to 4pm @
Minnetrista Cultural Center
A free Growing Thru Gardening Expo will be held at Minnetrista Cultural Center in Muncie on Saturday October 12 from 9 to 4. The event will be open to the public; no advance registration is required.
Four expert speakers will present information about various aspects of gardening during the day. There will also be demonstrations, information booths, Make and Take projects, and an activity area for children. Door prizes will be awarded at various times throughout the day. Silent auctions of gifts donated by local businesses and individuals will be conducted in the morning and again in the afternoon.
The program is presented by the Master Gardeners of Delaware County, an organization that extends Purdue University’s Extension Service to the public. More details will be posted to our website (https://delcomastergardener.org/) and our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DelcoMGAssociation/) .
Minnetrista’s several gardens present opportunities to spend some peaceful time outside. And, of course, the Farmers’ Market will be in the adjacent Minnetrista Orchard Shop area until noon. What a great way to spend a Saturday this fall!

Human Library at Minnetrista
1pm to 4pm @
Minnetrista Cultural Center
Oakhurst Home
1200 N Minnetrista Pkwy
Cost: Free Ages: 18+ 
Interesting and impactful discussions
The Human Library® is a safe place for serious conversations about often difficult and perhaps sensitive topics and allows participants to explore and examine their own conscious or unconscious bias. The Oakhurst home at Minnetrista is a beautiful and historic location for this impactful event.
At a Human Library® our Books are people who are on loan to Readers (YOU!). Books have lived experiences that reflect stereotyping and bias in our society and are ready to not just tell a story but to engage in a conversation with you. They expect and appreciate difficult questions that lead to greater understanding. Every Book on our Bookshelf has experienced stereotyping, stigma or challenges and marginalization due to their lifestyle, profession, diagnosis, belief, disability, or social status, to name a few.
At the Human Library® we invite you to examine and explore the topics on our Bookshelf and perhaps meet your own prejudice or better understand the life of one who experiences stigmas and stereotypes.
Each Book checkout is for a half hour dialogue. Check out 1 or as many Books as you have time for. The last check out is at 3:30 p.m.
Always FREE, this is a terrific learning opportunity and you will thank yourself for making the time to come!
The Oakhurst Experience will be closed on April 27, but the Oakhurst home will be open for the Human Library Project event from 1-4 p.m.
