Stay HerE grow HERE Noblesville About Preferred Global, Inc. Why Noblesville?

Noblesville is an ideal location for Preferred for many reasons.

With 66 employees, Preferred staff members live in Noblesville, and the surrounding counties. Noblesville as a location, provides the proximity to a large, diverse labor market which is extremely beneficial, but more importantly the city of Noblesville provides us with a marketing tool when trying to recruit employees from other cities and states.

Preferred travels all across the state and country, and the ability to access the interstate makes travel for crews much faster and easier.

Noblesville is a community that takes pride in itself. People are welcoming and supportive, and the business community is thriving and committed to partnering with residents, government, and nonprofit organizations. The local government is supportive of the business community, which makes Noblesville a phenomenal place to run a business.

Preferred Global has evolved into one of the Nation’s largest and most versatile flooring and painting contractors. Specializing in industrial painting and floor coatings, as well as, retail and industrial concrete polishing. Preferred works in a variety of facilities such as: Retail, Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, Automotive, and Healthcare.

Preferred Global operates nationally and is always seeking new opportunities to showcase the expertise, quality, and integrity of its brand. Established in Fort Wayne in 1972 as a small painting company, Preferred Global quickly grew to one of the nation’s largest contractors.

Realizing the need to expand into other services, Preferred launched its flooring operation in 1992. The Noblesville operation opened in 1996, and John Norton purchased the company in 1998. Since that time, Preferred has expanded beyond the regional industrial clients to a broad list of national customers, which also includes international work.

Amenities for the Preferred Global Workplace Noblesville offers many qualities for the Preferred Global staff, providing a small town feel with big city amenities. The historic downtown offers accessibility to great restaurants and shops, as well as a great centerpiece to share with customers, vendors, and potential employees when visiting Preferred. The school system is second to none, which is a great selling point. The many local parks and large number of golf courses in the area are always appealing to staff and Preferred vendors/partners.

Projected Growth Preferred is positioned for significant growth over the next several years. The company recently hired a new CEO to help develop a strategy to maximize growth opportunities, and is looking to hire several key positions including, sales, project managers, and field staff to assist in maximizing this growth. Preferred has grown year over year, but we has worked hard to maintain a small company culture, where employees feel like they are one big family.

NOBLESVILLE’S INNOVATION CENTER

Bill Corley 6 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2016 / atNoblesville.com

Writer / Kara Reibel . Photos Provided

ENGAGE. INSPIRE. EMPOWER. Noblesville and Noblesville Schools are taking the administration’s mission statement for Noblesville Schools to heart and expanding their commitment to ingenuity by opening the Noblesville Innovation Center. This may be the first innovation center in the country run by students.

“70 percent of the jobs for the next decade do not exist yet,” says Innovations teacher and author Don Wettrick. “Our students will need to out-innovate the competition, not out-work it.”

Noblesville Schools Susan Wiersma, Stacey Swan, Jeff Bryant and Gaylor Electric Chuck Goodrich

The progressive decision to create a workplace hub for innovation run entirely by students was met with overwhelming support by the Mayor’s office and the community. With visionary schools, town leadership, a talent pool of local experts and a proven track record of internship success, Mayor Ditslear asked, “What can we do to help facilitate this?”

“By partnering with the community, we listen to the students and local businesses,” says Mayor Ditslear. “This move creates opportunities.”

“We are no longer in a knowledge economy but an innovation economy,” says Wettrick. “It’s not about what you know; it’s about what you can do with what you know.”

The shift from regurgitative learning to experiential learning is a major pivot for educational institutions, and Noblesville is leading the way with their approach. “We have taught kids to be professional students,” says Wettrick. “They must be thinkers, creators, innovators.”

Don Wettrick

Wettrick comes from a family of educators, so naturally he was averse to teaching. It was later that he realized he wanted to teach. He shared this pivot with his father who told him, “I don’t care if you teach for the next 20 years. Just don’t teach one year 20 times.”

Google’s Eight Innovation Principles are Focus on the user; Share everything; Open will win; Ideas can come from everywhere; Think big, but start small; Never fail to fail; Spark with imagination, fuel with data; Be a platform; and Have a mission that matters.

Student speakers (L-R) Shairas Patel, Jess Elliott and Ron Brumbarger

atNoblesville.com / MARCH 2016 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 7

Current students of Wettrick’s Innovations class included senior Zach Baker, junior Sharia Patel and senior Jess Elliott who described the impact that the Innovations class has had on their educational experience.

On the first day, Wettrick told the class, "Find what you love and do it. Find what you are passionate about.” Patel asked, “Yes, but how do I get an A?” Patel was intimidated, but she started a travel blog. However, being only 17 years old without having traveled extensively, she was encouraged to spread her voice to international issues.

Wettrick assigned a project on the Syrian refugee crisis. Patel thought it was interesting, current and on the verge of our next world war. She interviewed the leader of Sons of Liberty, which trains Christian soldiers to fight ISIS. Her blog received over 1,000 views and a principal from South Dakota wanted to connect with her. Patel Skyped with seventh and eighth graders from South Dakota regarding her blog and interview.

Patel’s experience into this experiential learning module helped her discover what she is passionate about. Jess Elliott discovered her passion for light pollution.

During her junior year, Elliott traveled to Peru. The night sky was incredible, and the realization of the loss of the night sky due to light pollution in Indiana was evident. “It’s amazing to see how much of our natural beauty is masked by the light,” says Elliott.

Since her trip, Elliott has researched how some towns and cities had ordinances against open light with focus on lower only reflection. She started to connect with people and now has a friend in Arizona who works with Dark Skies Association. She discovered how light pollution affects the coasts, amphibians, birds, migration patterns and human health.

Locally, Elliott began working with people at Duke Energy.

Along with their help, Elliott was able to submit a proposal to the City Council at Noblesville, which was accepted.

Noblesville now has an ordinance that all lights have to be fully shielded. Elliott says it’s a small step, but those ripples create waves. Encouraged, Elliott will continue her mission by studying wildlife at Purdue University in the fall.

The Noblesville Innovation Center is student-centered, start-up minded and drives economic development. The goal is to be the center for innovation in both education and community development, creating a symbiosis between students and experts who learning with each other.

“There’s innovation everywhere," Wettrick said. “You don’t have to be in California. Noblesville is leading the way to help change education.”

Schools fill their heads with knowledge.

Help us fill their tummies with food.

One in four Hoosier children doesn’t have enough to eat – nearly 90,000 kids in Greater Indianapolis* alone. Gleaners Food Bank is trying to change that with our BackSacks Weekend Food for Kids program. But distributing a school year’s worth of weekend BackSacks in our entire service area comes with a cost of about $2 million.

Fundraising events like Wine Women & Shoes and its sponsors help pay for this program. Yet, they’re not enough. A gift of just $20 from you provides a child with a month’s worth of weekend BackSacks. And a $100 gift provides him or her with an entire semester’s worth. Please help us fund this worthy program by making a donation today at gleaners.org

A DAY OF WOMEN, WINE AND SHOES…A WEEKEND OF FOOD FOR CHILDREN

Held at the opulent Lucas Oil Estate, the fashionable midday event will be hosted on Friday, May 13 in Carmel for its third In the words of the iconic Marilyn Monroe, annual year.

Wine, Women a worthy cause.” & Shoes originated in Napa Valley, Writer / Janelle Morrison Photographer / JJ Kaplan

In previous years, the Women, Wine & Shoes event has been the toast of the town when it comes to feeding chronically hungry children through Gleaners BackSacks Weekend Food for Kids program. Last year’s fundraiser hosted 400 guests, targeting high income women aged 30-55+ and has raised nearly $200,000 annually to fund the Gleaners program.

California, and has become a popular sophisticated fundraising platform. The WW&S® team has managed more than 175 events and raised over $37 million for their charity partners that includes the local event benefitting Gleaners. Inspired by the classic country ballad “Wine, Women and Song,” this unique concept offers both charity and corporate clients the opportunity to leverage their successful TownePost.com / MARCH 2016 / TOWNEPOST NETWORK

platform to achieve a variety of goals from charity fundraising and cause awareness to team building and client networking.

The event will boast world-class wine tastings, gourmet treats, an exclusive fashion lounge, shopping opportunities for the latest in shoe fashions, a silent auction and of course the company of the striking “Shoe Guys.”

What woman could possibly resist a hunky man who knows the difference between a wedge and a platform pump? The Shoe GuysTM are one of the highlights of a WW&S® event. These attractive, fit and friendly guys may look like models, but they are men from the community who support the cause and are willing to brave a

party full of women.

Jill Schuman, co-chair of the event, spoke about the collaborative efforts that go into organizing this incredible event and the purpose that continues to motivate her and her co-chairs.

“We have been thrilled with the previous years’ success,” Schuman said. “It all began when Gleaners pitched the idea of teaming up with Wine, Women & Shoes, enjoying a day with our girlfriends shopping, eating and wine tasting while raising money for a good cause. It is a relaxing and enjoyable midday event that is designed to be different from a typical black-tie evening gala.”

Schuman mentioned that guests will be able to experience a wide selection of wines and delectable foods from local sponsors and restaurants. There will be 10 local vendors and restaurants on-site. As another way to raise money that day, the vendors will donate back 20 percent of the purchases made by the attendees. They will also be able to participate in a variety of contests, and the most incredible raffle prize is a key to a magnificent wardrobe closet, constructed on-site by California Closets and filled with over $12,000 of merchandise, gift certificates and other incredible prizes donated by the 10 vendors at the event.

There will be 160 tickets sold at $160 per ticket, and at the end of the event, the lucky ticket holder will take home all of the prizes and the opportunity to have California Closets come to their home and build a custom closet. In the closet are hidden boxes with additional prizes such as a certificate to purchase a pair of designer shoes with the assistance of a personal shopper at Saks Fifth Avenue at the Keystone Fashion Mall and other elaborate and fun gifts.

“This year’s event will feature the Saks Fashion Lounge,” Schuman added. “There will be a bar and music in this area.

We will have a live auction with some incredible donated items, and we will have a presentation for our guests on the Gleaners BackSacks Weekend Food for Kids program and how the event and all of its components supports Gleaners. We will also have a ‘Fund a Need’ segment. There will be several photo opps and fun contests such as ‘Best Shoes’ and ‘Best in Dress.’”

Schuman also expressed that one of the more unique and entertaining parts about the event is the presence of their Shoe Guys.

“Our Shoe Guys are absolutely phenomenal,” she said. “We will have ‘shoe cards’ with each of their faces printed on the cards. Our guests will vote for their

TOWNEPOST NETWORK / MARCH 2016 / TownePost.com

favorite Shoe Guy, voting through the Gleaners website during the event. They can donate as little as a dollar or whatever amount that they wish. Whichever Shoe Guy wins the most votes will be honored and recognized on stage and is awarded some fun gifts. In the past, we have awarded them fun trips and even a foursome at Crooked Stick Golf Course.

“I would really like to emphasize that all of our gifts and prizes are generously donated by our amazing donors and sponsors who are very supportive of this event. We couldn’t do these things without them. I also work with an amazing committee of dedicated women who are very talented and focus on making their parts of the event successful, entertaining and fun. We identify the list of things that need to be done and then we divide and conquer.”

The event is supported by a plethora of community and corporate sponsors such as Moyer Fine Jewelers, Saks Fifth Avenue, Pillow Talk, Sullivan’s Steakhouse and so many more wonderful local businesses.

Carmel Magazine will be the exclusive print media sponsor, so look for photos from the event in their June issue.

GENDER REVEAL A

Writer / Eghe Lenze

T

here’s an exciting new trend among expecting families called gender reveal parties. If you’re asking yourself, “What’s a gender reveal party?” then you either don’t know anyone who’s expecting, you aren’t expecting or you live under a rock.

A gender reveal party is a party to find out the gender of an expecting couple’s baby. Generally, gender reveal parties lie somewhere between the pregnancy

announcement and the baby shower.

Thanks to social media, this trend is exploding with some good and bad reviews, but it’s a trend that is not going anywhere any time soon.

Who is doing it? A lot of people. Gender reveal parties started popping up around 2011 with a simple cake you could cut into to find out reveal the baby’s gender: blue for boy and pink for girl. What started with a small gathering of immediate families has grown to include friends, extended families TOWNEPOST NETWORK / MARCH 2016 / TownePost.com

and even the whole world.

Celebrities like Snooki, Dave Annable and Carrie Underwood, just to name a few, revealed their baby’s gender on national television or video to not only tell their families but the entire world. Other celebrities have used gender reveals on their Instagram and other social media pages.

If you are invited to a gender reveal party, you should expect food and games, maybe even together. Be prepared to have some

cookies or cupcakes either pink, blue or some neutral color. Games often include guessing the gender of what you think the baby might be, predicting the day of birth or learning old wives’ tales of boys versus girls.

Finally, the reveal — is it a boy or a girl? If you are thinking of bringing a gift, it’s not necessary (unless it’s a shower and gender reveal in one).

Thinking of throwing one? Let your sonographer know ahead of time that’s the plan, but you can always know and keep it a secret too. Bring an envelope if you don’t want to know and ask the sonographer to put the gender inside. At that point, you can give the envelope to a trusted friend or family member or give it directly to your baker/party planner.

If you plan on doing a cake reveal, contact a local bakery and see if they accommodate your request.

BOY? GIRL?

Setting the date a month in advance for your gender reveal party is enough time for you to plan and invite guests. Decide how you want to do the reveal — Cake?

Balloons? Silly string? Reveal tees? The possibilities are endless and honestly a lot of fun!

If you are looking for a little bit of inspiration, check out our Pinterest page for tons of ideas. Pinterest is full of tips that you can use for themed gender reveal parties such as Football theme, Ties or Tutus and What will it Bee. Don’t forget to check out gender reveal themed decor. Visit your local party supply store for more ideas. Another forgotten gem for inspiration is Etsy. If you have something more out of the box, this is definitely the place to go for inspiration, ideas and one-of-a-kind decor. And to see what not to do, search YouTube.

Whether you have been to one, think it’s ridiculous to have one, are thinking of having one for your first or your third or never heard of one, one thing is for sure — this trend is not going away. Prepare to see more Instagram reveals, YouTube videos and whatever social media platform is coming next. My advice, enjoy the cake.

Each client receives a customized program, customized exclusively for their unique landscaping needs.

When asked about trending installations, Becker said that the outdoor living areas TOWNEPOST NETWORK / MARCH 2016 / TownePost.com

are still the most requested installations by their residential customers.

“When we work with our clients, we sit down with them and one of our designers to discuss their ideas and how they plan to use their outdoor space,” Becker explained.

“We try to identify and utilize the ‘bones’ of what currently exists and work with that.

Trees are the clients’ most valuable asset in the landscape. While we try to work with the existing features, we also have clients who want or need to start completely fresh and new. We are able to accommodate our clients, whatever their needs and preferences are. We take a practical approach to each project. One can design anything but our specialty is building and maintaining it.”

Becker and his team work with clients to fully understand the project and desired outcome and set milestones right out

other specialty vegetation including driving focused wildlife activity if desired.

“Landscapes, particularly in residential installations, are incredibly personal and intimate to our clients,” Becker stated. “We are creating these outdoor spaces as an extension of their homes. They use these spaces to relax or to entertain so we want to create high-quality features WITHIN functional spaces for them.”

For these clients, Becker and his specialists are able to offer recommendations for specific types of trees and plants that will attract several species of birds or other wild life if the client is interested in assisting the ecosystem while designing their landscapes.

Trees like the Grey Dogwood or Wild Cherry trees act as a single-source feeder to many native Indiana birds and are commonly included in the design process for this reason.

Becker also works with clients who are not as concerned about an outdoor kitchen or fire pit area but are avid horticulturalists who want to design healing gardens or other specialty areas where they can cultivate their favorite species of exotic plants and

There are examples of Becker Landscape’s work all over central Indiana. Notable projects, including the landscaping along Georgia Street for the Super Bowl, the vegetation garden on the rooftop of Eskenazi Hospital, Saxony Park, both the

“We are more than just contractors,” Becker said. “We are designers and specialists who work with our clients to create their own personal sanctuary, meditative gardens or ultimate outdoor living spaces and maintain them, using the same high-level of quality personnel and products as we would provide our commercial cliental.”

“After Mom died, we all began worrying more about Dad.” —Kate Weese “Having raised 10 children in our family, our Mom and Dad were always busy and very active socially, even after we all left their home.

When Mom died suddenly, we knew it would be difficult for Dad to transition into a “new normal” in an empty home. With the help of all the kids, from coast to coast, we sought a retirement community that would provide Dad with a safe and active life. We all agreed Westminster Village North was our best option and to him, a perfect new home.”

“ I couldn’t be happier here. My apartment is comfortable, the staff are wonderful, there are many things to do and I’ve met a lot of new friends.”

—Don Boyle

Meet Conner Prairie's New President,

NORMAN O. BURNS II Writer / Kara Reibel . Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Norman Burns II, the new President and CEO of Conner Prairie, takes the helm at an exciting time.

With 28 years of experience in leadership roles at historic institutions around the country, Burns and his wife Sandy are embracing their new adventure with Conner Prairie. Originally from Tennessee, the Burns feel at home in Indiana and are arriving at the beginning of a year-long Bicentennial Celebration for our 200 years of Indiana statehood.

“I am excited for the opportunity to be here at this time,” shares Burns. His experience includes being a part of the Bicentennial celebration in Tennessee, a Bicentennial of the southwest territory and the 400th celebration of the founding of Jamestown.

Burns clearly understands the impact that these events have on the awareness of history. “This is what we do at Conner Prairie every day,” says Burns. “We celebrate history."

The mission of Conner Prairie is to inspire curiosity and foster learning about Indiana’s past by providing engaging, individualized and unique experiences. Conner Prairie is a Smithsonian affiliate and a national award-winning interactive experiential outdoor museum.

Indiana’s Bicentennial Celebration takes on very special meaning at Conner Prairie. The Conner House played a major role in shaping Indiana’s policies from early on. atNoblesville.com / MARCH 2016 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / 25

“We are using Indiana’s Bicentennial celebration to share the story of Indiana’s story of territory to statehood,” says Conner Prairie VP and COO Cathy Ferree.

While the Bicentennial will be celebrated throughout Conner Prairie, a main feature of the Bicentennial celebration will take place at the Conner House. Beginning March 26, guests will be invited to enter from the front of the Conner House, facing the prairie, instead of the rear of the home.

The interactive experience will transport guests back in time to explore what might have happened in the home during the era of statehood infancy.

“The interactive, dramatic story about what happened here in the Conner House will be shared in a new way,” shares Ferree. “The Conner House is more than a structure.

We want guests to experience the story of who lived here, what was happening

in the community around it and how is it important today.”

The restoration and reinterpretation of the Conner House at Conner Prairie is designated an official Indiana Bicentennial Legacy Project. The Conner House shaped Indiana’s history, for it was a meeting held in that very house that changed the location of the state capital of Indiana.

“Two hundred years ago, William Conner arrived as a fur trapper. He fought in the War of 1812 and witnessed Indiana’s transition from territory to statehood,” says Ferree. “Trapper, trader to gentleman and statesmen, Conner left a legacy. Over the years, his home bustled with visitors discussing legislation. The home served as a cultural hub where big ideas were stretched and pulled.”

Guests are expected to be curious, ask

questions and receive their answers in the interactive history experiences that makes Conner Prairie unique.

In addition to the Bicentennial celebration, Conner Prairie is introducing a new experience for their guests, Treetop Outpost, opening July 1. For the past five years, Conner Prairie has introduced nature programming as a unique lens on history.

Treetop Outpost is a culmination of these efforts and supports Conner Prairie’s mission to inspire curiosity and foster family learning.

“We started asking questions such as, ‘How can we help kids get more wild?’ Wouldn’t it be wild if we gave them an outdoor space where they could connect with their parents in nature?” says Ferree. “Imaginations are kindled like a wildfire. It’s not about taking away gadgets – it’s about captivating imaginations.”

26 / NOBLESVILLE MAGAZINE / MARCH 2016 / atNoblesville.com

The 40’ tall structure will feature interactive discovery zones all around it. Guests will dig in, literally, discovering the story of what we leave behind. Building upon the lessons of the past, there will be a construction area to build things with no computers involved.

The hands-on experiences will provide another unique interactive experience for guests.

Conner Prairie’s mission to inspire curiosity and foster learning about Indiana’s past by providing engaging, individualized and unique experiences. I am continually reminded that the history of humanity is the history of ideas. I believe the unique experiences at Conner Prairie do inspire curiosity and make this a place where imagination soars.”

The debut of Treetop Outpost at Conner Prairie comes amidst Indiana’s Bicentennial celebration and the country’s 100-year anniversary of the nation’s parks system.

Conner Prairie has a $33 million impact on the local economy. With 350 employees, the impact is direct with $11 million of this impact in Hamilton County alone. This includes 590 jobs created outside the prairie through local impact.

Coming into the Presidency at Conner Prairie during this exciting time, Burns has hit the ground running. “Conner Prairie is such a wonderful asset to the community, which is why I plan to work diligently to be part of its continued growth for many years to come. As a public historian and nonprofit leader who believes in the power of creativity, I am excited to now be part of

“While I will never be short of new ideas, I want to assure you that I see my job like a precious library book that I’ve been honored to check out for a period of time,” says Burns. “My responsibility is to be inspired by it, nurture it, plan for how to take care of it, possibly improve it and

maybe even add a creative chapter or two.

It is then the custodian’s role (mine and the organization’s) to communicate its themes and inspire others to enjoy and use it. But I always know that I have to take that book back and turn it in some day for the next person to check out.”

The vision is to have Conner Prairie become more connected throughout the state of Indiana. A Smithsonian affiliate, Conner Prairie is award-winning and nationally and regionally recognized. Now let’s gather up the locals…and let the celebration begin!

NOBLESVILLE TEACHERS AWARDED LILLY ENDOWMENT GRANTS Writer / Kara Reibel . Photography Provided

Lilly Endowment Teacher Creativity Fellowship asks these questions of its applicants: Where do your dreams and passions lie?

What adventures have you postponed?

Is there a country or culture you’ve always longed to explore?

Do you yearn for a spiritual journey?

What experience will help you broaden your students’ horizons?

What inspires awe and wonder in you?

Clearly valuing enrichment experiences for educators to explore and subsequently share with their students, Lilly Endowment Inc. established the Teacher Creativity Fellowship to help expand the minds and hearts of those affected by educators pursuing their passions.

“During nearly three decades of work with the Teacher Creativity Fellowship Program, we at the Endowment have learned how important it is for educators to have the time and space to explore, travel and create,” said Sara B. Cobb, Lilly Endowment’s vice president for education. “We regularly hear that these experiences help Indiana’s teachers, principals, school counselors and media specialists renew their commitment to their profession.

As a result, their students benefit.”

In the 29th year of providing the Teacher Creativity Fellowship, Lilly Endowment has awarded two Noblesville teachers, Joe Akers and Emily Crapnell, the opportunity to cultivate their dreams.

Akers, a media teacher at Noblesville High School, and Crapnell, a science teacher at Noblesville West Middle School, were selected from more than 500 applicants across the state and were each awarded $12,000 to pursue an educational passion project. Only 100 of these grants are awarded each year.

Akers’ project will focus on the creation of an informational children’s book about sea turtles and the launch of a Little Free Library, both in memory of his daughter Grace who passed away last year.

“This is a way to keep my daughter’s story alive. Grace was my hero, the bravest, sweetest person I’ve ever known,” shares Akers.

“I want the world to know and remember her and see the ways her kindness and love made the world a better place.”

For Crapnell, this grant enables her to switch roles from teacher to scientist. She will perform field study work, bringing captured data back to the classroom for an expanded educational experience for her students. Crapnell will use her fellowship funding to analyze the locational environmental health of U.S. volcanoes, working alongside other scientists in Wyoming, Washington and Hawaii, and ultimately publishing her research findings on a scientific website.

“I teach sections on general geology and am so excited to have the opportunity to gather information in the wild and utilize this data in my classroom,” shares Crapnell. Students will analyze the pH in the soil, guessing which volcanic region the sample was extracted.

In addition, Crapnell will be recording the soundscapes from the local ecology around the volcanoes. As a vocalist and songwriter, she is thrilled with the creative prospects.

“The experience is planned to be data driven,” says Crapnell. “But I am flexible with changes and challenges to my proposal for this grant. I feel this experience will be more rewarding than what I have planned for.”

Crapnell will blog her experience this summer and will publish her findings to publiclab.org, a site for citizen scientists.

THE INDIANAPOLIS MUSEUM OF ART CELEBRATES COLOR ME ORCHID

Writer / Stephanie Perry . Photos Provided

Step into spring with the new Color Me Orchid exhibition, a vibrant and stunning display of orchids in the IMA’s Madeline F. Elder Greenhouse through March 13. The exhibition will pay homage to the brilliant colors, shapes and pattern of orchids, while also highlighting their history and connection to the IMA. Throughout the show, orchids will be available for purchase in the Greenhouse and at a special Pop-Up Shop in the main Museum building. IMA horticulture experts will be available to share advice on orchid care.

For more than 40 years, orchids have been a striking staple in the Greenhouse.

The orchid was the favorite flower of Madeline F. Elder, who rallied volunteers and support to save the Greenhouse from demolition in 1972. From the beginning of Elder’s involvement, the Greenhouse has housed this exquisite flower.

“Orchids have a great history of captivating people,” said Sue Nord Peiffer, the IMA’s greenhouse manager. “People really enjoy seeing this exotic and diverse group of plants. They have the most complicated bloom in the flowering world.”

For guests looking for extra tips for caring for these complex flowers, the IMA will offer workshops on mounting and repotting orchids on March 5. Workshops are $35 and $60 for the public with special discounts for IMA members.

The exhibition is the first of its kind in the Greenhouse in recent years. As a living gallery space, the Greenhouse offers classes, workshops and educational plant displays year-round.

Color Me Orchid is included with general admission and free for IMA members.
