Garden Tool Swap 2025 Recap
Each May KFNA hosts a garden tool swap in MLK Park with the help of the City of Minneapolis.
The event was on May 10 this year (2025) and took in over 1,000 items. Nearly all were taken by another member of the community and kept out of the garbage. Way to reuse and be eco-conscious Kingfield!
We look forward to seeing you again in 2026!
Earth Day Cleanup 2025
Thank you to everyone who attend and helped clean up Kingfield. We counted over 120 volunteers who came to MLK Park to help out on April 19. That’s A LOT of trash and recycling we were able to collect. Thank you to the City of Minneapolis for doing extra pickups, and our friends at Spirit Garage for hosting a BBQ for our generous volunteers.
We hope to make neighborhood cleanups happen more frequently. Please reach out to if you are interested in organizing or participating.
Kingfield Garden Tool Swap
Attention, Kingfield Gardeners!
From Seasoned Growers to novice Seed-Sowers, all were welcome at the 5th annual Minneapolis Garden Tool Swap!
Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling and community partners once again offered this free event on Saturday, May 10, 2025, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at seven parks citywide. The Kingfield swap takes place at MLK Park each year.
As you start Spring cleaning, hang on to those unused/unneeded garden tools, planters, garden décor, books, seeds, and more, and share them with neighbors at the swap. You do not need to bring items to participate. All items donated at the swap are free for any participant to take home. For more event details, visit the City’s Garden Tool Swap webpage: MPLS Garden Tool Swap
In 2023, over 1,600 items were dropped off and more than 70% of items were taken by the end of the three hour event. Let’s make each year bigger and better. Let us know you’re coming and invite your friends and loved ones to join. Please come to mingle with your fellow neighbors while you purge your unneeded garden tools and find just the right thing you need to finish up that new garden bed project!
