Indianapolis Peace Institute

In 2002, the Plowshares Collaborative was founded by Earlham, Goshen and Manchester Colleges and funded by a grant from Lilly Endowment Inc. Out of this collaboration, the Indianapolis Peace Institute (formerly Indianapolis Peace House) was born.

The Institute launched its first off-campus study program in 2004. This program provides students from around the United States with an opportunity to participate in rigorous academics. Students also engage in practical peacebuilding, linking these efforts to their chosen major(s) or career interests. The Institute also works to build peace in Indianapolis through our partnerships with other community-based organizations, government entities and businesses.

Indianapolis Peace Institute's Mission
To provide dynamic academic and field experiences for students, across various disciplines
To teach conflict transformation skills
To develop leadership skills
To be an educational partner with other peacebuilding initiatives in our community
To engage questions of values, faith, beliefs, and ethical practice in peacebuilding

Internships and the Indianapolis Peace Institute
Internships are a vital part of the Institute’s summer and semester programs, providing interns with an opportunity to apply what they've learned in the classroom, creating, testing and improving upon their own approach to peacebuilding. Internships are tailored to each individual's discipline, passions, and goals.

Richmond Rose Garden

History
The Rose Garden was opened to the public in 1987 after three years of planning. It was inspired by the Zweibrucken Garden in Germany and brought to life by a group of dedicated citizens who wished to showcase Richmond’s rose history. Their efforts resulted in this splendid garden that is now designated as an All America Display Garden by the All-America Rose Selection Board (AARS). Today, the Richmond Rose Garden is lovingly maintained by volunteers and is financed by contributions and memorial gifts.

Adopt a Plot
When you volunteer to help at the Richmond Rose Garden, you will have the opportunity to work side-by-side with other volunteers who love to share their knowledge and rose-tending skills. Later, you may choose to be responsible for your own plot where you can experience the enormous satisfaction of watching the roses in your bed flourish under your care.

Rose Garden Board Meetings
The Richmond Rose Garden Board of Directors meets the fourth Tuesday of every month at noon at the Richmond Chamber of Commerce. All volunteers are invited and encouraged to attend these one-hour meetings. The Board reviews upcoming events, like weddings and tours in the garden, as well as schedules for fertilizing, mulching, planting, and spraying.

Skills and Tools Needed
People of all levels of gardening skills, from beginner to master gardeners, are welcome to work in the garden. You’ll need simple tools:
• Sharp pruning shears
• Good gardening gloves, preferably leather to protect against thorns
• Garden spade
• Small bucket for collecting weeds and spent blooms
• Broom for clean-up of the walks around your plot
