Kingfield Community Garden Group

March 20, 2017 By Sarah

Nothing is quite as satisfying as planting seeds and seeing nature’s blessings emerge through the soil – except possibly eating the harvest!

For people who like to garden but don’t have much space of their own, the Kingfield Pleasant Community Garden is the perfect solution!

Applications for the 2017 available plots are now available: 2017 Skill Inventory and Interest Survey and Community Garden Application 2017. Both forms are due to the Kingfield Neighborhood Association Office (in the Center for Performing Arts) by NOON ON MONDAY APRIL 3, 2017.

Members of the Garden are required to perform service in common areas as well as maintain their plot.  Members also host fun events and activities including the annual Kingfield Community Garden Tour every July.

For more information, please send an e-mail to Cheryl@Kingfield.org.  Community Garden Rules can be found here: 2017 Kingfield Pleasant Community Garden Rules.

Also please make sure you are signed up for the weekly KFNA e-news on the left-hand side of our homepage so that you won’t miss any announcements regarding garden tours and future garden plot applications, including potential new garden sites within the neighborhood!

Draft MPRB Urban Agriculture Policy Out for Review Until 12-21

November 20, 2013 By Sarah

A draft of the MPRB Urban Agriculture activity plan is available for public review and comment between November 6, 2013 and December 21, 2013. The Park Board encourages residents and park users to provide feedback on the draft document, and has made available a brief online survey and comment form to easily gather public opinion.

After reviewing the draft plan, you may respond to a survey or provide general comments online. Print copies of the draft plan are available in recreation centers.

http://www.minneapolisparks.org/documents/design/UrbanAgriculture/UrbanAgPlan-Draft.pdf

All comments received are public record and will be considered for incorporation into the final plan for Board consideration and adoption in early 2014.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/draftplansurvey

The draft plan was developed through an extensive community engagement process and contains recommendations related to policy, facility, program, and service improvements to better support urban agriculture activities within the park system.
The development of the Urban Agriculture activity plan is supported by the Board of Commissioners and directly linked to the goals of the MPRB Comprehensive Plan.
