Garden Tool Swap 2025 Recap

By

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

By

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

By

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!

March 5th Primary Presidential Election

By

On March 5th, Minnesota will participate in the presidential primary, more commonly known as Super Tuesday. We encourage you to vote in-person at your local polling place that day.

 

Who can vote in the presidential primary?

Any voter registered in Minnesota. Voters can pre-register through February 13, or register at the polling place when they vote. Note that voters must turn 18 years old by March 5 to vote in the presidential primary.

How will I be able to vote in the presidential primary?

Registered voters will be able to vote at their polling place on presidential primary day (March 5) or by absentee ballot starting January 19, 2024. A voter must request the ballot of the party of their choice (Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, Republican Party of Minnesota or Legalize Marijuana Now Party). If a voter refuses to select a party, they will not be able to vote in the presidential primary.

Will other people know which party’s ballot I request?

A voter’s choice of party ballot will be recorded and is private data. However, a list will be provided to the chair of each major political party of voters who selected that party. How a voter voted on the ballot will be secret.
