Volunteering at the Naturescape at Lake Nokomis
The Naturescape at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis is located on the east side of the lake near the intersection of Lake Nokomis Parkway and East 50th Street. The Naturescape is comprised of two prairie gardens and a hillside oak savanna restoration site. Members from the Twin Cities chapter of the Wild Ones volunteer at the site one evening a week from May through September. This friendly group of people is always looking for help with the gardening chores including weeding and planting. In return for your help, you have the chance to learn about native plants from the experts!
Vicki Bonk and the Wild Ones will be gardening at the Naturescape on Tuesday evenings starting around 6:30 pm.
Contact Vicki at vbonk@usiwireless.comfor more information about the Naturescape.
