Beautifying north Minneapolis

More than 40 volunteers came together to beautify their corner of north Minneapolis on Tuesday and Wednesday Oct. 12 – 13. These volunteers planted more than 430 shrubs and perennials along the new parking lot of St. Anne’s and St. Joseph Hien church. Twenty school children from Bright Water Montessori School also gave a hand by planting wild grasses and watering freshly planted trees and plants.

What was once a row of run-down, crime-infested homes, is now a newly-beautified parking lot that will serve the parishioners of St. Anne’s and St. Joseph Hien for years to come. Thanks to the Pohlad Family Foundation for helping to fund this project.
