Commissioner Marion Greene will speak on the county’s response to some of the most crucial challenges facing our communities: race equity, the COVID-19 pandemic, critical housing needs, climate action and more. Access the Facebook Premiere event here.
Plan your walking/biking route! 28 gardens will be open for public viewing, hosted by their resident, passionate gardeners this Thursday 6-8 PM. Additionally at least five musical groups will also be out on their porches participating in On Thursday We Sing, and serenading you along the route.
Donations for taking part in the event be given to The Donation Garden at MLK Park. This community garden is an important source of fresh food that is used to supplement daily meals for Aliveness Project clients living with HIV/AIDS, and also to support their food shelf. Dollars raised over what the garden needs this year to rebuild their garden beds will be donated to this important Kingfield partner. Donating is as easy as texting the words ‘Garden Tour’ to 44-321, which then sends you a reply text to click on to go to the KFNA donation page AND automatically directs your donation to this project.
Both a map and the garden descriptions are now published in the event found here: https://kingfield.org/event/kingfield-walk-of-gardens/
Being home more this spring is yielding some beautiful and creative garden spaces! If you want to share yours, no matter how big or how small!, with the community on the evening of Thursday July 9th just email info@kingfield.org and KFNA will connect you to the volunteer leader of the Kingfield Walk of Gardens. If you want to help coordinate the event, feel free to email us to—Julie could use a hand!
All tours will be socially distanced and responsibly hosted. Masks for both guests and hosts will be required.
Take a walk in the park (virtually!) and visit some of out trees at https://bit.ly/KingfieldCommuniTree. Send one of them an email, and they will write you back!
Dear KO,
To keep community members informed and to continue to advance the project, the City of Minneapolis project team has recorded a narrated slide show to present the draft conceptual design and address frequently asked questions, which is posted at: http://www.minneapolismn.gov/cip/futureprojects/grand-ave-s.
