Crews continue to work on the 28th Street bridge over I-35W. They will need some additional time to complete the beam installation. Overnight closures have been added to the schedule.
Hennepin County Master Gardeners will teach you how to plan a garden, start seeds, and tend your garden until harvest time. Classes will have hands-on activities so you get practice before you start your own garden. This class will be helpful for people new to vegetable gardening and also for those who want to learn new techniques and skills. Don’t have a garden in your yard, don’t worry. Ask about our communal park garden plot we’ll be farming this growing season.
These free classes are every Tuesday from 6:30-8pm at MLK Park, beginning April 9, and ending April 30. Click on this link to register

So…remember Kingfield Empty Bowls this year? Lots of snow, right? So much snow that some people couldn’t attend, right? So much snow that we had a bit of soup leftover, right? So let’s do the whole event AGAIN this weekend … and just to totally give into this whole winter-thing let’s do it OUTSIDE!
Join us in Butter Bakery Cafe‘s Back 40 (aka the vacant lot behind Butter on 37th Street) where we’ll be heating up leftover soup and serving it for your sipping pleasure. Bring a pocketful of donations for Nicollet Square, of course, and some spare change in case you want to dip into Butter and warm up with a treat or some cocoa.
The entire Back Lot will be out playground for the afternoon to create a snow village in so wear your snowgear and dress the kids for some wet wintery fun! Thanks to Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative for providing us with the land to frolic on (as well as bringing Nicollet Square to our community.)
