KFNA could use a volunteer (or 2!) to support the City Staff at this event—if this could be you, please email and put “Garden Tool Swap Volunteer” in the subject line!
Attention, gardeners! From seasoned growers to novice seed-sowers, all are welcome at the 3rd annual free Minneapolis Garden Tool Swap organized by Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling.
As you start Spring cleaning, hang on to unused yard 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 web page.
