Join Friends of the Mississippi River on Tuesday, May 30, 6:00-8:00 p.m. as we return to Ole Olson Park along the riverfront for a spring tending to this native demonstration prairie garden just off the bike trail. These showy flowers and grasses will not only beautify the park but provide much-needed bee, butterfly, and bird habitat. This event will help further our long-term transformation and commitment at this site and to the river. Although a small urban site, Ole Olson is home to a surprising diversity of landscapes, including riverfront shoreline, woodland terrace, and grassland slopes.
Capacity is limited and registration is required. For more information, including registration information, visit us at http://fmr.org/events/2017/05/30/tend-demonstration-prairie-ole-olson-park
