Forty-Nine - Minneapolis Local Food Resource Hubs Network

For $10, Guthrie and I have joined and registered our garden through the South Minneapolis Hub. I pilot program through the City of Minneapolis and Gardening Matters -- a local non-profit community to strengthen community gardening in the Twin Cities. The mission of the Hub is to support "Minneapolis residents to grow, preserve, and cook their own fresh produce." For $10, we get seeds, seedlings, classes at a discount, and are connected with other gardeners in our area. It sounded like a great way for Guthrie and I take our garden to a new level, and really get ready for a full season of planting, weeding, and harvesting (I hope!). There are currently three Hubs you can join in Mpls - Powderhorn-Central (woohoo!), Philips-Ventura Village, or Northside. To learn more, and download the order form here. We'll keep you updated with pictures of seeds and sprouts as we get back to gardening. Tough to think about with the new snow fall that has re-covered our garden, but we are very excited for spring!

Peace!
