You are invited to visit Horton Park on Sunday, August 11th, as part of the Twin Cities wide Community Garden Day. Come and enjoy free refreshments, music, and tours of the gardens and arboretum. You will get to see the latest blooms and butterflies in the gardens and may even get a chance pitch in!
Event Time: 11:30-2pm (tree tour at 11:30)
Street Address: 1383 Minnehaha Ave W, St. Paul
Also note: Midway Greenspirit Garden is also open from 11am-3pm! Make a plan to traverse Hamline Ave in the Midway to reach both gardens. At Greenspirit, you will find an interactive garden show-and-tell where gardeners have provided reflection on their plots and experience and demos on their foodshelf donations, beehive and growing peppers. See this link for details.
Arboretum Tour
Over 60 new trees were planted in the park at an Arbor Day event this year by the city and the Friends of Horton Park to greatly expand the park's role as an arboretum. Come at 11:30 to get a tree tour hosted by a St. Paul forester. It's a great way to learn about trees that do well in our area.
Garden Tour
The neighborhood group Friends of Horton Park maintains the community native plant gardens at Horton Park. We have native oak savanna, shade, and prairie gardens planted and maintained by volunteers with the support of the St. Paul Parks Department. Our gardens provide a wonderful place to learn about gardening with plants native to Minnesota, which are often beautiful, easy to maintain, and provide nectar and seeds for native insects and birds. Garden tours will be offered as requested between noon and 2 pm.
