THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR SHARING.

Step into a healthier, more connected community at the garden! 🌱💚

Meet Timeka! 🛴 A nurse and familiar face at the Growing Places Indy garden, Timeka recently joined Tiffianie of 3BFIT to explore fresh produce and learn how to harvest collard greens.

During college, Timeka completed a project focused on bringing health resources into the community through a mobile health vehicle. She was especially excited when she saw the BU Wellness mobile vehicle at the garden and shared, “I did a project about a mobile health vehicle, and now I see that vision in real life!”

We love creating opportunities to learn, grow and connect together!

Join BU Wellness Network and 3BFIT for nature, movement, health screenings and wellness education at the garden!

We BU Wellness Network and 3BFIT Body Beauty & Brain are not just talking about wellness—We are moving, growing, and putting it into practice every day.

Have you heard about Fresh Bucks?

Fresh Bucks is a nutrition incentive program that provides the opportunity for individuals and families who utilize the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to purchase more fruits and vegetables from local farmers.

You can use it at participating farmers' markets in Marion County, at Safeway Food Stores, and at local shops like Elephant Gardens, located at 34th and Sherman!

If you didn’t know…now you know😊
