The City of Minneapolis is looking for volunteers to help plant native flowers and grasses that will support pollinators, improve water quality, and help manage stormwater runoff before it reaches the Mississippi River.
We’ll be planting rain gardens, stenciling storm drains, cleaning up the neighborhood, and gathering ideas to help name the rain gardens.
We’ll provide tools, supplies, and snacks. Everyone is welcome!
