Do you want to grow your own vegetables?

By

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

I Know We Said Rain-or-Shine…

… but we didn’t anticipate severe thunderstorms on the night of this year’s garden tour.  I know the hosts have been working diligently to have their gardens looking perfect for this evening, so it was a difficult decision but we cancelled the garden tour tonight.  We will regroup with the gardeners and see if we can find a new date. Please keep an eye out for the weekly e-news, as well as posts on our website, Facebook, and Nextdoor Kingfield.  If you have questions, please send an e-mail to Cheryl@Kingfield.org

Thanks for everyone’s understanding!

Helping Our Kingfield Bees

By

We have 2 fun projects planned to help our bees: Bee Hotels and a Pollinator Patch

KINGFIELD BEE HOTELS – Learn More at Tonight’s Green Team Meeting! 7pm at MLK Park

Similar to bird houses, bee hotels (or bee houses) are created structures that provide safe haven and nesting spots for solitary bees – many species of native bees are solitary and do not live in hives but instead construct their own nest.  We can brainstorm construction ideas and create a plan to place them (and care for them) at the new MLK Park Pollinator Patch, the Kingfield Pleasant Community Garden, and at Butter Bakery Café.

MLK PARK POLLINATOR PATCH

We are hoping to add a small native pollinator-friendly garden, but we need a core group of volunteers to help plant, but most important, I have to show that the volunteers are also committed to maintaining the plants throughout the summer and fall.  If you are interested, send an e-mail to Cheryl@Kingfield.org for more information.
