Event Description

Experience the beauty and peace of Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) and view several areas that can be enjoyed for rest and contemplation in the shade or during cooler parts of the day. We will tour our labyrinth, Cosmic Walk, woods, Four Winds Food Forest, a few gardens and Dry Creek. This will be an outdoor program; participants must be able to walk over uneven terrain. Facilitator Christine Kirpes, Prairiewoods’ Garden Coordinator, has managed the Green Prairie Garden at Prairiewoods for over a decade on behalf of Prairiewoods and Metro Catholic Outreach. After earning two life science degrees, she ended up in Cedar Rapids in the early ‘90s. She became involved with Indian Creek Nature Center, volunteering as a naturalist off and on for 20 years. She enjoys hiking and taking advantage of various environmental and spiritual programs at Prairiewoods. She, her husband and their three adult children love getting outside, especially visiting national parks together. Christine’s interests also include tending to her collection of houseplants, gardening, reading fiction, dancing, visiting new places, and almost any activity in or around water. The cost is $10.
