Kingfield Garden Tool Swap (Neighborhood Day)

By

Attention, Kingfield Gardeners!
From Seasoned Growers to novice Seed-Sowers, all are welcome at the 4th annual Minneapolis Garden Tool Swap! Minneapolis Solid Waste & Recycling and community partners are excited to once again offer this free event on Saturday, May 11, 2024, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at seven parks citywide. The Kingfield swap will take place at MLK Park. Just follow the signs and look for the table with helpful volunteers, staff and refreshments! (while supplies last)!
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 this year bigger and better. Let us know you’re coming and invite your friends and loved ones to join. Since the Garden Tool Swap coincides with Neighborhood Day, 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!

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association is recruiting Volunteer Board Members

The Kingfield Neighborhood Association (KFNA) is a community-based nonprofit that covers the area of 36th to 46thStreet and 35W to the middle of Lyndale Avenue. The mission of the organization is “Serving Kingfield by creating connections, building community, and fostering engagement.”

KFNA has spent over 30 years creating community safety by connecting neighbors to each other, building a thriving small business and nonprofit network where our business owners and nonprofit leaders are valued members of our neighborhood, and problem solving with neighbors by being the bridge to the City of Minneapolis regarding projects, planning, and issues. KFNA has created a series of innovative projects that celebrate our residents and their talents including Porchfest, Empty Bowls, decades of visual art shows, the conceptualization and testing of the first utility box wraps in the City, stormwater management demonstration sites, establishment and care of the Donation Garden at MLK Park and Community Orchard, and over seventy pieces of public art including the Walldogs on Nicollet project.

KFNA is currently recruiting to fill 7 of the 13 Volunteer Board Member Seats.
