Become a smarter gardener this summer! Award-winning garden writer and photographer Gail Hudson shows you how to make some simple, small changes to grow a little more sustainably right in your own backyard and help the planet at the same time. She’ll talk about:
  • Ways to plant more sustainably
  • How to become more “water-wise”
  • “Honey, the lawn is shrinking!” Good, green reasons to reduce the size of your grass patch.
  • Cutting back on gardening with plastic (pots especially!): Can we do it?
  • And how to design a sustainable garden.
Just changing your perspective a little means the future is greener already!

Even though the pandemic prohibits us from hosting our usual Earth Day Clean-up event with activities and gathering together, our Earth still needs to be cleaned-up! The Kenny Neighborhood Community Engagement Committee is partnering with the Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board to host a do-it-yourself clean-up on April 24. Stop by the Kenny Park playground by 11 a.m. to have a pre-wrapped treat, grab some supplies (bags, gloves, etc.) and pick up trash/recycling around the park, Grass Lake, schools or anywhere in the neighborhood. Please be sure to wear a mask and social distance- hopefully there will be a lot of great volunteers out there spiffing up Kenny neighborhood and cleaning our Earth for future generations.
