Celebrate spring at the annual Wildflower Walk on Sunday, April 21 at Teter Retreat & Organic Farm, 10980 East 221st Street, Noblesville. Wander the woods on your own anytime between 1:30 and 4:00PM, with guided tours beginning at 2:00, 2:30, 3:00 and 3:30PM.
“From violets to trilliums, phlox to bluebells, trout lilies to wild geraniums, Teter Retreat & Organic Farm boasts a wonderful display of wildflowers that you can take in on your own or with a guided tour,” shared Emma St. Dennis, coordinator of the event.
“The Wildflower Walk is one of our favorite events of the year,” explained Lead Pastor Nicole Caldwell-Gross at Noblesville First United Methodist Church, which owns the retreat center and farm. “Especially after this long winter, spending an afternoon in the woods is an incredible treat.”
The event is free, open to the public, and great for all ages, kids, scout groups and adults! Although the walking path is easy, it is not wheelchair accessible. A limited number of golf cart tours are available for those with mobility challenges. To schedule, click here to email Amber Good or call 317-379-2023.

Teter Retreat & Organic Farm is an outreach mission of Noblesville First United Methodist Church. The property was acquired in 1981 from Ruter Teter, an interested and active member of the church. When she died, she was unmarried and had no close family. In her will, she gave her 120-acre family farm to the congregation with the request that it be developed into a church retreat and named in memory of the A.W. Teter family. In 2015, the idea was born to expand the retreat facility’s purpose to include an organic farm, as a community outreach ministry to feed spirit, mind and body. Teter Organic Farm now raises over 40 varieties of vegetables on five acres aiming to combat food insecurity, to build community through meaningful relationships across barriers that sometimes divide us, and to educate children and adults on the importance of environmental stewardship and care.
