Don’t cry over your onions

By

Join your neighbors and Hennepin County Master Gardeners to learn the details about growing onions.

We’ll also be planting bush beans, zucchini, and cucumbers and learn about putting in supports for peas.

Everyone is welcome. Feel free to drop in and bring your questions, tend the soil, and meet neighbors, whether weekly or whenever you can!

The mission of the MLK Donation Garden, located on the northern side of the King Park Building at 4055 Nicollet, is to connect neighbors and grow food for our community. Neighbors gather every Tuesday from 5:30-6:30 PM to tend the vegetables in the boxes at the northern side of the MLK Recreation Center and discuss a weekly topic. The food we grow in 2019 will be donated to The Aliveness Project (located at 3808 Nicollet), but the knowledge you go home with is yours to keep!

Kingfield PorchFest

At a local porch near you, in Kingfield Neighborhood, Minneapolis!

For anyone new to the neighborhood or has been asleep the past few years and is wondering, “What the heck is PorchFest?” PorchFest is an evening of community all wrapped up in the sounds of summer. On this single summer evening, Kingfield musicians will perform acoustic music outdoors at their respective homes, or at neighbor’s porch or yard, while others stroll through the neighborhood, enjoying the sounds. This event regularly features over 50 musical performances on about 3 dozen Kingfield stages.

Got a band? Follow the link and register to play! Have a nice wide front porch or a flat front yard? Follow the link and sign up as a potential host!

Have questions? Just contact KFNA Executive Director Sarah Linnes-Robinson at sarah@kingfield.org.

Garage Sale Day in Kingfield!

By

Sometimes we need to make choices about what we spend our time on what projects we focus our attention on.  Facing a reduced budget, an impending reduction of staff, and a dearth of volunteers, KFNA has decided to not hold the traditional garage sale this year. Instead we declare that May 18th is GARAGE SALE DAY IN KINGFIELD.

It won’t be an extravaganza this year, but many of your neighbors are taking advantage of a sale date to motivate them to part with their possessions that no longer bring them joy… and may be just the thing you are looking for!!  Look for signs, drive through the ‘hood, and help support your neighbors in their efforts to recycle – reuse – repurpose!
