Minnetrista on 765 Buismess Journal 7/14/25

Dig In & Give Back with Minnetrista!

On this week’s 765 Business Journal with host Lathay Pegues, we spotlight one of Muncie’s crown jewels: Minnetrista Museum & Gardens — where history, art, gardens, and community all grow together.

 

Guests Julie Mason (Volunteer Specialist) and Chris Allen (Horticulture Specialist) share how volunteers are the heartbeat behind Minnetrista’s vibrant events and ever-changing exhibits. From planting in the rose garden to greeting guests at major community celebrations like Fairy, Sprites & Lights, Flags of Honor, and the Farmers Market, there’s a role for everyone — no green thumb required!

 

“You don’t need experience — just curiosity and a little time.”

Weekly gardening sessions.

Event support.

Perfect for students, retirees, and families!
