Captivating Calm Garden Tour Wrap-Up!

July 16, 2021 By Sarah

It was a beautiful evening for neighbors to gather in each other’s gardens. Thank you to our hosts and our organizing team which this year was comprised of Kingfield neighbors Julie, Laura, and Aimee! We couldn’t do this event without our steadfast volunteers!

If you attended a garden, as we know that hundreds of people did!, we ask that you consider making a donation to KFNA to support our work organizing projects like this that build community in our neighborhood. Suggested donation is $3 if you visited one garden and $10 + if you visited more than 1 site. Donations can be made via Venmo @kingfield_kfna or at this link through GiveMN.

If you are interested in being part of the leadership team next year please contact and KFNA will be in touch with you in the spring. You can also send a message if you are potentially interested in being a garden host location!
