Planting for the future

Volunteers planted native and non-native perennials in new, street-side Raingardens along Hackmore Drive near Schwanz Lake on rainy Saturday morning. Eagan's "Lakes & Wetlands Program" provided plants, materials and funding for these newest of 25 neighborhood plantings to filter runoff for cleaner city lakes. For more info, call Gregg at 651-675-5395.

It's good to include children; get them started on the right foot. I've noted that kids really dig garden work and are pleased with watching the growth of plants and animals.

Good work. We do a lot of community planting here in Perth too, especially along the coast to keep the sand dunes from eroding.

A fine project for the community!

This is such a great initiative. Where I live in Montpellier, people should do the same. Kids here do not respect plants and trees at all.
