All are Welcome! We leave stalks standing through the winter to provide shelter and sustenance to wildlife. Most of our native bees and butterflies winter underground or in stems. Birds eat the seeds. We wait to trim most stalks till the temperature is 50 degrees. Most planting is done at the end of May or early June. Though we plant mostly perennials, some plants will need replacing. Rain Dates will be announced on the garden e-mail.

Help restore native habitats and protect the clean waters of this scenic nature sanctuary by the Mississippi River, once part of the St. Anthony Falls.
As a volunteer, you will assist in creating spaces for native plants to thrive, removing invasive species, and cleaning up the shoreline and park slopes near limestone rocks, where waters once cascaded like they do at Minnehaha Falls. You’ll have the opportunity to rotate between various stewardship activities throughout the season.
