Have you noticed the vibrant coreopsis and catmint at the Pollinator Patch on Raymond and Robbins? Or the weekly ‘weeding’ at the Sydney Triangle rain garden? Initiated last year by the SAPCC Environment and Transportation Committees with the help of volunteers, these plants and greenspaces are thriving, thanks in part to recent rains. This summer, Ramsey County Master Gardeners are joining the effort to rejuvenate the rain gardens along Raymond Ave. in South Saint Anthony Park. Look out for weekly and monthly planting and ‘weeding’ parties at the Pollinator Patch and rain gardens this summer. Sign up for Point today and volunteer in our greenspaces with your neighbors at: bit.ly/sapccvolunteer.
