Next month, Hamilton County Tourism and Hamilton County Invasives Partnership (HIP) will hold a Think Spring Art Showcase highlighting the beauty and diversity of Indiana’s native plants. HIP will provide information about native plants, including details about its free invasives trade-out program.
This free event will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 2 at Noblesville Creates (formerly Nickel Plate Arts), Stephenson House, 107 S. 8th St.
Even in winter, we can “think spring” and start planning for garden refreshes. Native plants are often undervalued and overlooked in landscaping in favor of plants that are non-native or invasive. Invasive plants threaten the environmental and economic health of the county. This event will bring artists and Hamilton County residents together to learn about and celebrate the beauty and value of the region’s native plants.
This will be an educational open house to open the exhibit. After the event, the artwork will remain on display through Saturday, Feb. 24.
