Download April 2024 HortusScope
A total solar eclipse supposedly comes our way only once in 800 years! It feels like some kind of sign that we must be in for a complete change.
Like maybe when the sun creeps back out from behind the moon, we’re going to emerge happy and raring to conquer climate change, eliminate hunger, ban single-use plastics, elect great leaders, get our kids into nature, save Indiana’s wetlands, rescue our insect population, etc. etc. While we’re all looking up (with protective glasses, of course), maybe we can consider how together we can keep things looking up.
Where will you be during the eclipse on April 8? I’ll be out in the garden keeping company with the confused wildlife. The DNR can tell you everything you need to enjoy the show here.
