A Kingfield Hands-on Gardening Class!

Join your neighbors and Hennepin County Master Gardeners to learn all about fertilizing your garden. What kind of fertilizers are there? Do you need to fertilize? When should you do it?

We’ll also be harvesting micro sassy lettuce, picking some of our herbs, training the peas to attach to the trellis (if necessary), and discussing succession planting (what to do when you’ve harvested your first round of vegetables).

Everyone is welcome. We meet each Tuesday at the same place and time. Feel free to drop in and bring your questions, tend the soil, and meet neighbors, whether weekly or whenever you can!

• A  KFNA Redevelopment Meeting

KFNA Redevelopment is hosting a special meeting on Tuesday June 17 at Butter Bakery Cafeto talk about our neighborhood and the opportunities and challenges it faces to increase density. The question the committee is exploring is “what can neighbors do to help increase affordable housing options at long vacant properties near Nicollet Avenue or other primary corridors?”

At 7:30 the committee will be joined by representatives from Beacon Interfaith Housing which owns one of these properties. Beacon will update the committee on development ideas they have for the vacant lot behind Butter on 37th Street.

Feel free to join us. Contact KFNA at if you have any questions. RSVP to

At the MLK Donation Garden at MLK Park, 4055 Nicollet on the north side of the building
