MnSEED Collection Event at Monarch City a Success

Fifteen people joined in on the seed saving adventure at Monarch City on August 26th. We had perfect weather and we were able to able to collect seed from 22 native species in this garden that marks the perimeter of the West Minnehaha Recreation Center's grounds. Installed over multiple years this garden is stewarded by Frogtown Green , a neighborhood volunteer driven organization and other community partners. These seeds will be available to MnSEED Native Plant Community Science Project participants later in the fall. Participants were also able to gather seed for their own gardens as well. We followed suggested guidelines like only taking 20% of the ripe seed and labeling labeling labeling.
