I went on the guided tour last year and it was absolutely fascinating! 3rd Annual Marcy Holmes Rainwater resource Recycling Tours Saturday, August 6th (guided tours: 10 a.m. & 1 p.m.) Meet at University Lutheran Church of Hope, 601 SE 13th Ave. in parking lot (free parking in lot) Learn to use rain water as a valuable resource via raingardens, rain barrels, pervious pavement and green roof technology to increase the health of your watershed. See examples throughout the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood. Also available - Self Guided Tours between August 5th - 7th; Begin at 706 14th Ave. SE., look for self guided tour brochures in project mailbox next to "Marcy Holmes Rainwater Resource Recycling Tour" sign. Project funded by matching grants from the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization. For more information, contact The Kestrel Design Group, Inc. at 952 928-9600 or tkdg [at] kestreldesigngroup.com Having recently installed a rain barrel and started a small rain garden in my yard, I can say for certain this is worth the work (and it's really not that much work), whether you apply for a stormwater fee rebate or not. I'm looking forward now to getting additional garden ideas so I can start thinking expansion and also learning more about pervious paving so I can make sure to use that when I eventually replace my crumbling front walk. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 08:31:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Tom Taylor <fholson [at] cohousing.org> Subject: [Mn-prog-events2] Green potluck picnic 8.06 11am To: MN-prog-events <mn-prog-events2 [at] justcomm.org> Cc: Test version <mn-prog-events2 [at] justcomm.org> Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0508090704120.30823-100000 [at] zoidberg.tigertech.net> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On August 6th Bruce Bacon's farm will unfold before us for some Fun For A Change ~ come be part of it.

His is one of the oldest remaining farms in Ramsey, Minn., and once belonged to his grandparents. His organic produce is served at restaurants such as the Dakota, the Heartland, and W.A. Frost's, and is sold at co-ops in the Twin Cities. Bruce continues to explore the possibilities of "greening the suburban sprawl," to create community through gardening, and to promote permaculture design for sustainability. He has an abiding interest in systems theory. Todd Bockley Todd operated the Bockley Gallery in the warehouse district of Minneapolis from 1985-95. Its focus was twofold, to exhibit and support the work of local artists and to exhibit American outsider art and European art brut. Since 1995, Todd has pursued independent curatorial projects. In 1997 he organized and implemented his first Beuys-inspired Tree Planting Project in conjunction with Joseph Beuys Multiples at the Walker Art Center. The primary planting site was on the Leech Lake Reservation. Many similar projects followed, in Minnesota and at other sites in the U.S. In 2000, he curated "Listening with the Heart: the work of Frank Big Bear, George Morrison, and Norval Morrisseau," at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis. He is currently working on an exhibition of work by Barbara Kreft and Stuart Nielsen for the Rochester, Minn. Art Center for fall 2005. Dan Keiser Dan "the Oakman" Keiser grew up and lives in south Minneapolis. He majored in art and biology at St. John's University. He is a certified tree inspector, a certified arborist, and a member of the International Oak Society, as well as an honorary member of the Mendota Mdewakanton Dakota community. He calls himself an urban forester; the Mdewakanton call him Utuhu Tanka, or Forest Oak. Dan will walk and talk with us while visiting some oak trees at Garden Farme. Topics will include the history of oaks, globally and locally; the biology of oaks and other phenomena; local Native American culture and the oak. ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 08:32:35 -0700 (PDT) From: Dastj02 <fholson [at] cohousing.org> Subject: [Mn-prog-events2] Wirth House tour 8.06 12noon To: MN-prog-events <mn-prog-events2 [at] justcomm.org> Cc: Test version <mn-prog-events2 [at] justcomm.org> Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.44.0508090706480.30823-100000 [at] zoidberg.tigertech.net> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII HISTORY BUFFS from all over the cities, region might be interested in this event in South Minneapolis.
