Parade of Community Gardens

The East Side will be showing off its green thumb on Saturday, August 21, 2010.  Make plans to visit the community gardens in your neighborhood to learn more about gardening, building community and growing your own food.

66 gardens are participating in this year’s Parade of Community Gardens, a Minnesota event celebrating community and gardening! This statewide “openhouse” of community gardens occurs once a year, inviting people to come and learn more about these incredible community spaces first-hand!
